The pair confirmed they were expecting a boy back in February, just a month after they revealed they were set to add to their family.

Taking to Instagram at the time, Emilie wrote: "Round and round we go! I'm 15 weeks pregnant in this shot and I'm SO excited for our newest addition to the Goldblum family, arriving early April. #growingfamily and #love (sic)."

Jeff previously admitted he was like a "teenager" with a crush when he first laid eyes on his wife.

He said: "I was immediately thrilled by her and walked over. The next couple of days I pursued her.

"I talked to my friends about her. I was like a teenager. She makes me and Charlie laugh.

"I like the way I make her laugh too. It's important to me, the way we make each other laugh."

The actor also discussed the fact he had left it until later in his life to become a dad.

He said: "I never seriously considered [having children] until now. I'm at a different place now.

"I was enthusiastic to marry Emilie and try to have a baby. Charlie was born on Independence Day, July 4, while we were shooting 'Independence Day: Resurgence' in Albuquerque!

"My dad had a younger brother, my uncle Chuckie, whom he adored. 'Charlie' is a form of 'Chuckie'."
