Surprise: Steve Martin is a dad!

The actor and wife Anne Stringfield welcomed their first child together, his rep tells PEOPLE.

According to the rep, the two “are new parents and recently welcomed a child.”

No other details were provided.

According to the New York Post‘s Page Six, which first broke the baby news, Martin and Stringfield welcomed the baby in December.

“They’ve had a baby and how they’ve kept it secret, nobody knows,” a source told Page Six, which reports that the new parent have been spotted around their Los Angeles neighborhood with their newborn in tow.

Martin, 67, who is notoriously private when it comes to his personal life, dated Stringfield, 41, for three years before tying the knot at his home in 2007.
