“Robert Downey Jr. has welcomed a baby daughter with wife Susan and now the actor has announced the news and promised to post pictures of their new arrival.
The Iron Man actor already has a two-year-old son, Exton, with his stunning wife, and 21-year-old son Indio from a previous relationship, but this is his first daughter.
Taking to his official Facebook page, proud daddy Robert posted the news today, as he wrote: “After 9 months of intensive development, Team Downey is pleased to announce our 2014 fall/winter project.
“Principal photography commenced 11-14 and will continue until she says, ‘Dad! You are embarrassing me…I’m 30, this has gotta stop.’
“Yep…Avri Roel Downey joined the party @ 3:22 a.m. on November 4th…she’s 7lbs even, spans 20 inches, and is accompanied by a variety of Susan’s traits that have seemingly overwritten my ‘junk DNA’.
“I’ll post pics here + there when I’m not too busy staring…”
According to some baby naming sites, Avri can mean “A noble and wise ruler”, while another says it means an Elf counsellor.
Last week, Robert and Susan attended the BAFTA Los Angeles Jaguar Britannia Awards, where he gushed over his wife as he said: “It’s just the uncertainty of how nowadays you have all these things where you think you have much more of an understanding of what you’re going to get.”
He added: “And then this little soul lets herself be known to you, and it’s just like: You don’t know anything. It’s great!”
While accepting his award, Robert then revealed his wife was “about to pop” and said: “How is she still so darn pretty and functional and mood-stable?”
He then joked: “The second pregnancy has been extraordinarily tough for me. Self-prescribed mandatory bed rest was of some benefit. At least my milk is finally coming in.””
Gotta love that RDJ wit! Congrats to Robert, Susan and Avri Roel Downey!
