Actor Steve Martin appears to have a new role, and one that's coming a bit late in life. Reportedly Martin, 67, and his wife, Anne Stringfield, 41, welcomed a baby in December, but have kept news of the infant's arrival under wraps.
The New York Post reports that Martin and Stringfield "have been spotted nearby their LA home with the bundle of joy."
Martin and Stringfield married in 2007 in a surprise wedding ceremony attended by many famous friends--who were told they were coming to a party.
When it comes to his personal life, Martin is notoriously private. The Post reports the couple is "thrilled," and that they "worked hard to have the baby."
No comment yet from the Martin camp.
