Jimmy said: ‘Buried the lede, buried the lede on that one. Congrats, dad! That’s awesome.’
The actor said ‘it’s really wonderful’ and shared that he and his wife felt ‘blessed that they could just nest as a family.’
Jude and Phillipa, 33, who were first spotted together at the Hay literary festival in 2015, got married at Old Marylebone Town Hall in London last year before partying in Mayfair – three months after the actor announced their engagement.
Their baby news was revealed in May.
After the baby news came to light, a friend of the couple said: ‘He and Phillipa are blissfully happy together and delighted to add to their family. Everyone is really excited for the new arrival.’
He was previously married to actress and designer Sadie Frost, but the pair divorced in 2003. They have three children – Rafferty, 23, Iris, 19, and Rudy, 17.
The actor also has daughter, Sophia, 10, with model Samantha Burke, and another daughter called Ada, five, with singer-songwriter Catherine Harding.
Phillipa’s pregnancy came months after Jude, who wed Phillipa last year, revealed that he would ‘absolutely’ be open to having more.
The Talented Mr Ripley actor said: ‘I love it, so absolutely why not? I’m very lucky to be involved with someone I’m madly in love with…
‘The idea of having more children would be just wonderful. I’m fortunate to be with someone where I’m having more fun than I’ve ever had in my life.
‘We have an incredibly stable and healthy, wonderful family existence and that involves my kids who are young adults… and then the younger ones are just so much joy and so much fun.’
