Miranda Kerr has reportedly given birth to a son.

The Victoria's Secret model and husband Orlando Bloom welcomed their first child into the world late on Thursday (06.01.11), it has been claimed.

Though news of the new arrival has not been officially confirmed, gossip website X17 Online report the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' actor could be overheard outside the Los Angeles hospital where his spouse gave birth bragging about "my son".

Miranda, 27, married Orlando, 33, in July and announced the pregnancy in August.

She found out she was pregnant while shooting a fashion campaign in Paris, France, following weeks of nausea.

Miranda's parents flew from her home country of Australia at the end of December to be with her for the arrival of their grandchild.

The couple have previously stated they didn't want to find out the sex of the child before the birth and the catwalk beauty has insisted she wants to completely focus on motherhood after the birth.

She said: "For me, family is life. The decision to start one wasn't complex at all.

"My career has been wonderful, but it's not my life. I don't feel pressure to get back to work."

Explaining her vision for the future, she added: "My goal involves a hammock, a vegetable patch, and a solar-powered house. And I hope to eventually get there."
