Keira Knightley and husband James Righton 'welcome first child'

Keira Knightley has reportedly given birth to her first child.

E! News cites 'multiple sources' who say the 30-year-old actress and her husband James Righton recently welcome a baby, although no other details were made available.

Us Weekly also confirmed the news via their own source but did not have any other information.

Keira and James have yet to confirm the news and MailOnline has contacted the actress' representatives for comment.

Keira confirmed her pregnancy to Elle UK in December after weeks of speculation.

Although Keira has been looking forward to welcoming her first child with her Klaxons rocker, she previously admitted to that she was 'in denial' about it.

During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in February, she was asked by the host if she had got the baby's room ready yet.

'No. They're quite small though right?' she revealed, before adding: 'Do they need a room of their own?'

Jimmy explained to the confused-looking actress that she would be needing to prepare a room for her child, adding that there needs to be space for a crib.

She replied in a jokey, light-hearted manner: 'OK... I'm in denial at the moment.'

And when quizzed about her birthing plan by Ellen DeGeneres, she quipped: 'There isn't an option to sort of keep it in, is there?

'So, I'm assuming my plan is to get it out. But apparently there's more to the plan than that. I don't know what that is. Still, my plan is to get it out. It will come out.'

The Atonement actress - who has been with James, 31, since February 2011 - has made no secret of her desire to have children, but has previously insisted she would never give up her career to raise a family.

Speaking in 2012, she told Vogue magazine: 'I don't want to deny my femininity. But would I want to be a stay-at-home mother? No. On the other hand, you should be allowed to do that, as should men, without being sneered at.'

Speaking to Elle UK last summer, she appeared to have children on the brain when she discussed her fantasy film script.

She said of the imagined plot: 'The horrendous issue of trying to have a baby when you can't.

'I've seen friends who've been through this, it seems like one of the most dramatic things that can happen to half of the population – and actually, the other half as well because, my god, the unbelievable toll it takes on male partners – and there are no good films about it.'

Keira's 'The Imitation Game' director Morten Tyldum recently predicted she would be a 'wonderful mom.'

He added: 'She's a wonderful person! She's so sincere, so loving and her husband is great and they're such a great couple.'

Keira and James tied the knot in a low-key ceremony in France in 2013.

4 Things We Learned About Keira Knightley That Made Us Fall in Love With Her

Who better to embody the ELLE spirit than Keira Knightley. Beautiful, talented, well-read, open-minded, opinionated, feminist, fashion-forward, and like ELLE … delivered 30 years ago. In honor of ELLE's 30th birthday, photographer Paola Kudacki shot four exclusive covers styled by Samira Nasr with 30-year-old actress that highlight ELLE's dual French and American heritage (ELLE France was founded in 1945) and the vital role that beauty and accessories play in the magazine's fashion identity.

Holly Millea sat down with Knightley to talk about the power of 30—or what we like to call 'the new starting line'. To find out what she had to say check out the entire cover story exclusively in the September issue of ELLE—available digitally and in select cities now, and on newsstands nationwide August 18.

Here, a preview of four of the many things that made us fall in love with her…

HER 30TH BIRTHDAY WASN'T WHAT SHE EXPECTED...

"I was heavily pregnant, I couldn't drink—what is the point of having a thirtieth birthday if I couldn't get phenomenally drunk? But my husband took over, arranged a lovely lunch at one of my favorite restaurants, 20 of us, and they were all being so sweet, like, 'Look, you can have a great time and be sober!' And it's fine apart from the fact that they started drinking at about one. Then they came back to our house—they'd covered it in balloons that said my name and happy birthday and all that—and they got completely obliterated. They were there until two or three in the morning, absolutely drunk, and I was there eight months pregnant, completely sober. So it was lovely, but it wasn't what I'd imagined a thirtieth birthday was going to be."

...AND HER 20S WERE "PRETTY CRAP"

"My twenties were pretty crap," Knightley says. Okay, so she concedes, "My career was absolutely amazing; in fact, I don't think my career will ever get better than it was in my late teens, early twenties," she says. "But as a person, you're changing so much and you're trying to figure stuff out. Some people go wild and have a great time and throw caution to the wind, and I was the complete opposite. I was very shy. It took me a lot of years to try and stop pleasing a lot of people and allow myself to have fun. It's the difficult thing of getting out of your own head. To stop going, 'Oh, there's something I should be doing, there's a way I should be behaving, I should be dressing….' All of those shoulds, you can drown in them."

BUT THERAPY HELPED

"Oh, ****, yeah!" Knightley laughs when Millea asks if she's tried therapy. "I've totally done therapy. I highly recommend it. I don't do it at the moment. But in my early twenties when I found everything completely overwhelming, 100 percent, I did it! Are you kidding? I think when you're in those moments in your life, and you want to get through them…you have to do whatever it is to help you get over it. You have to give it a go. Try anything that might help."

AND HAVING A BABY MADE HER STOP HATING PARTS OF HER BODY

"The love thing is astonishing. It's a very primal, primal love. That's quite extraordinary. And the ability to have no sleep and continue going. It's not pleasant—I never thought that I could actually do it for the amount of time that I've done it. Also, I have to say, as a woman, you hate certain parts of your body. You go through those periods where you look in the mirror and you think, Oh, if only I had different legs or arms or whatever. You go through pregnancy and labor and then feeding the kid and you go, Wow, my body is totally amazing, and I'm never going to not like it again, because it did this, and this is ****ing extraordinary." Oh, and the baby's name? It's Edie.

I agree, I hope it's not going to be one of those 'motherhood made me feel sexy/funky' avenues they're trying to take.
