Thandie Newton and Ol Parker Share Photo Of Baby Booker
Crash actress Thandie Newton showed us a glimpse of her bundle of joy this week!
The third-time mom and her director husband Ol Parker welcomed their son on March 3 and now it seems they are ready to show baby Booker Jombe Parker to the world.
Back in March, Newton tweeted about her experience giving birth to her new baby.
"Our baby boy is finally here! Booker Jombe Parker. Born joyously at home yesterday," Newton tweeted.
She also added, "My 3rd home birth with brilliant independent midwife Caroline Flint - and Carole Goddard @PhoenixMidwives. Keep independent midwifery alive!"
This is the first son for the couple that's been married for fifteen years. They have two daughters, Ripley, 12, and Nico, 8.
On Tuesday, Newton tweeted, "Happy Holidays," and shared a photo herself and her son looking blissfully happy as Newton cradled baby Parker in her arms. Watch out ladies, baby Parker was looking pretty snazzy in his blue and white stripped onesie.
Check out the photo here.
Though Newton may have been all smiles in the photo, she admitted to U.K.'s Daily Mail that her pregnancy wasn't easy while she was on set filming the TV series Rogue, where she plays undercover cop Grace Travis.
"Basically, I had two options; to withdraw from the show which would have meant the show collapsing, or to commit regardless. I'd seen actresses take on meaty un-pregnant roles while carrying babies -- Jodie Foster in Panic Room. My agent also reassured me that both Claire Danes and Anna Paquin worked well into their first pregnancies. So, it was all going to work out just fine wasn't it?"
Wrong.
Newton continued, "'We're on episode nine, and are near enough to finishing for me to be able to chuckle at my naivety in thinking this was going to be anything other than mayhem, with a waddling lead actress at the centre.'"
Despite her difficulties on set, Newton managed to pull through and currently has two projects out this month. Catch her in the movie Half of a Yellow Sun, starring Newton, Chiwetel Ejofor, and Anika Noni Rose.
Newton also appears in the May issue of Marie Claire where she talks beauty and makeup. The issue is in stores now.
Congrats Thandie!
