So it turns out the Duchess of Cambridge and singer Hillary Scott weren’t the only famous ladies to give birth yesterday.

According to Hello! actress Penelope Cruz welcomed her second child, a baby girl, with hubby Javier Bardem after being admitted to Ruber Internacional hospital in Madrid yesterday evening.

The couple, who tied the knot back in 2010 after three years together, already have a two-year-old son called Leonardo.

Speaking previously about wanting privacy for her children, Cruz said: “I want my son and my kids – if I have more – to grow up in a way that is as anonymous as possible.”

She added: “The fact that his father and I have chosen to do the work we do doesn’t give anybody the right to invade our privacy.”

No further details about the new arrival are known but we'll keep you posted...

The star couple apparently welcomed their second child yesterday.
