chris evansChris Evans and wife Natasha Shishmanian have welcomed their first child together - a baby boy.

The little boy named Noah made his grand debut at the Portland Hospital in London yesterday, weighing in at 7lbs 4oz.

Radio Two presenter Chris posted pictures of the proud mother and her new son on his blog a few hours after the birth, explaining: “He’s finally here and he is a little belter. I know everyone says that about their own but he really is a bit special.”

He added that they got through the first stages of Natasha’s labour in a novel way: “Tash was admitted into hospital last night, or at least checked into her room and then immediately declared that we go out for one last pre-Noah meal even though she happened to be in labour at the time.

“We went to the great Giorgio Locatelli’s place, he of the annual Children In Need Dine and Disco. When we told his front of house girls, all Italian, that Tash was actually almost having a baby, they loved it. I’m sure they were willing her to have it there and then.

“We laughed all the way through our dinner, what a way to kill the pain and suspence of labour - highly recommended. We arrived back at the hospital around eleven, both had a couple of hours kip and then the big boy contractions kicked in and at 8:21am on the 10th of the 2nd 2009 out popped Noah.”

Noah is Natasha’s first child while Chris has a 22 year old daughter Jade from a previous relationship. Chris and Natasha married in August 2007.
