The actor and new wife Ryan Shawhughes welcomed their first child together in New York City last Friday, daughter Clementine Jane Hawke.
Hawke's publicist, Mara Buxbaum, confirmed the arrival to E! News today.
Get Ready to Play Baby Bumpwatch With Garner
My, how quickly gossip history repeats itself. Seems like just yesterday we were monitoring Angelina Jolie's baby bump. But since that belly's birthed the Golden Twins, we need a new one.
Enter Jennifer Garner. Like the best of them, she is not confirming a pregnancy, yet it looks like something is definitely happening in her tummy area, per this Santa Monica sighting on Tuesday.
What do you think? Is Violet getting a sibling (how cute would they be together?!), or is this just another Eva/Uma-esque case of the bloats?
Matthew McConaughey Got Tribal During Delivery
Looking about as laid-back as his daddy, little Levi Alves McConaughey poses with proud parents Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves on yet another OK! magazine cover devoted to famous folks and their spawn.
In the issue, the oft-shirtless actor not only shares what he learned while witnessing the July 7 arrival of his first child—"having a baby is a bloody, pukey, sweaty, primeval thing!"—but also reveals the ritual that went down in the delivery room...
Spelling Tells a Mommy sTori
Despite the handful of reality shows, the magazine covers and her own cranking publicity machine, apparently there are some things we don't yet know about Tori Spelling.
The 35-year-old celeb-about-town announced Monday that she's working on a follow-up to her best-selling memoir sTori Telling, this time prosaically tackling the trials and tribulations of Mommywood.
"Writing my first book, sTori Telling, was an amazing, cathartic journey for me," the former Beverly Hills 90210 (and future 90210) actress said. "Now, being a mom of two beautiful babies, I'm excited to share more stories as I embark on this new chapter of my life."

Brangelina Brood Checks Out
Brangelina has left the building.
E! News has confirmed that Angelina Jolie and her ever-burgeoning brood left the Lenval hospital in Nice, France, early Saturday, a week after giving birth to twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline.
"Angelina left at 4 a.m. in a blacked-out ambulance," a source tells E! News. "And she's now back at Château Miraval with Brad, the kids, her brother, James Haven, and Bill and Jane Pitt, Brad's mom and dad."
Urban Blogs About Baby "Bliss"
Nashville's recent Urban development is making at least two residents very happy.
New proud papa Keith Urban has posted a message on his site, saying he and wife Nicole Kidman are experiencing "pure bliss" in the wake of the birth of their firstborn last week.
"It's been 10 days since the birth of our beautiful new daughter, Sunday Rose, and like any of you who are parents yourselves, we're experiencing the pure bliss of welcoming her into our lives," Urban wrote.
Amanda Peet Says Sorry...Sorta
Amanda Peet sends her regrets.
The X Files star has issued an apology for saying in a recent Cookie magazine story that "parents who don't vaccinate their children are parasites."
"I believe in my heart that my use of the word 'parasites' was mean and divisive," she writes in a letter that was posted today on the parenting magazine's website.
"I completely understand why it offended some parents, and in particular, parents of children with autism who feel that vaccines caused their illness. For this I am truly sorry."
A-List Secrets: The Cushy Life of H'wood Toddlers
What's with all these celebrity toddlers still sucking on pacifiers, being carried and pushed in strollers at 3 years old?
—Weaver
So you want me to spit some snark at Tom and Katie over their parenting skills. Meh. I'd rather spit some snark at Madonna, just because she keeps doing stuff. But you asked, so I answer. The reason for all the kiddie holding, according to current and former Hollywood nannies, is much more innocent and sympathetic than you might think. In fact it's even a bit—gag—touching.
See if you can handle the treacly sweetness of the truth after the jump.
Exclusive
Angelina Staying Put for Now
The twins' arrival came earlier than expected. Angelina Jolie's departure won't be following suit.
A spokeswoman for Lenval hospital, where the Jolie-Pitt brood welcomed new additions Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline, told E! News that the new mother remains in the maternity ward at the hospital and will not, per the latest round of speculation, be checking out today.
"After a C-section, the normal stay for a mother in the Lenval hospital is between eight and 10 days," Nadine Bauer said.
When asked directly if Jolie was due for discharge later today, Bauer said, "No."
Ben & Jennifer: What's Up, Baby Doc?
The baby buzz on Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck is getting louder.
Rumors that Garner is expecting the couple's second child were kick-started earlier this month when a tabloid report claimed Garner and Affleck had already told friends their two-and-a-half-year-old daughter Violet is getting a sibling.
Speculation really ramped up when Garner starting wearing loose-fitting tops capable of hiding a growing belly.
Now comes another possible clue...
Jessica Alba Is Anxious for More Moppets
To help pass the time as we all wait with bated breath for the first pictures of Vivienne and Knox, OK! has put Jessica Alba and her daughter, Honor Marie, on the cover of their latest issue.
And while not Brangelina's chosen ones, we do admit the little tyke is pretty adorable.
Inside the mag, we learn from the new mom and her hubby, Cash Warren, about the "Zen" delivery, Jess' love for soul food while pregnant and that, yes, they will most likely add to their brood—sooner than later.
"Yeah, we want more," says Jessica. "I definitely wouldn't wait 10 years. This body can't take it."
Mmm, call us crazy, but something tells us it could.
