And baby makes quatre.
A rep for Marion Cotillard has confirmed to People that the French actress and her longtime partner, actor and director Guillaume Canet, have welcomed their second child, a baby girl. The couple have not yet revealed a name or other birth details about their daughter, who joins big brother Marcel, 5 1/2.
The Oscar-winning star announced her pregnancy on Instagram in September, though the news was unfortunately surrounded by drama thanks to speculation surrounding the divorce of her Allied costar and onscreen love interest, Brad Pitt. After news broke of Pitt and wife Angelina Jolie's plans to split, Cotillard became the target of gossip. She eventually responded with this post denying any affair or involvement in the Brangelina divorce and asserting own happy home life with Canet.

"This is going to be my first and only reaction to the whirlwind news that broke 24 hours ago and that I was swept up into," the 41-year-old Dior campaign star posted. "I am not used to commenting on things like this nor taking them seriously but as this situation is spiraling and affecting people I love, I have to speak up.
"Firstly, many years ago, I met the man of my life, father of our son and of the baby we are expecting. He is my love, my best friend, the only one that I need.
"Secondly to those who have indicated that I am devastated, I am very well thank you. This crafted conversation isn't distressing. And to all the media and the haters who are quick to pass judgment, I sincerely wish you a swift recovery. Finally, I do very much wish that Angelina and Brad, both whom I deeply respect, will find peace in this very tumultuous moment."
She and 43-year-old Canet, who was married to actress Diane Kruger from 2001 to 2006, have been in a relationship since 2007. They welcomed son Marcel in May 2011, and, in addition to their new daughter, have another collaboration lined up. They'll both play exaggerated versions of themselves in the upcoming film Rock'n Roll, which Canet directed.
