Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr have welcomed a baby boy, if X17 got it right. A photographer from the entertainment website overheard the actor bragging about "his son" after the report came out that Kerr was in labor in Los Angeles. No other details have been released about the new arrival.

It was understood that the Victoria's Secret model went into labor on Thursday, January 6 morning. Kerr's parents, Therese and John Kerr, who flew in from Australia to be with their daughter, were allegedly seen visiting the hospital on the same day at 8 P.M. local time.

Kerr began experiencing contractions on December 26 but it proved to be a false alarm, The Daily Telegraph reported. An unnamed family member said, "We did get a text on Boxing Day (26Dec10) saying she had gone into labor but it was false alarm but I can confirm she did go into labor early this morning. I have been trying to get in touch with (Kerr's parents) but everyone's phones are going to message bank."

Kerr and Bloom wed on July 22 last year and announced the pregnancy the following August. "I've always been open about wanting to be a mother one day, and I've always thought Orlando would be a great dad," Kerr once said.
