(BANG) -
Joseph Fiennes' wife Maria Dolores Dieguez gave birth to a baby daughter.
The British actor and his spouse are celebrating after the model had a baby girl - whose name has not yet been revealed - on Monday (08.03.10), just seven months after they married in Tuscany, Italy, last August.
The couple are said to be thrilled with the new arrival.
Family life is very important to the 39-year-old star - who is currently living in Los Angeles whilst he works on sci-fi TV series 'FlashForward'.
The British hunk has six siblings, actor brother Ralph Fiennes, composer Magnus Fiennes, twin brother Jacob Fiennes, filmmaker sisters Sophie and Martha Fiennes and foster brother Michael Emery.
He said: "We're very close. Luckily one of my brothers is in Los Angeles with his family so it's lovely to know he's there, especially being so far away from home. We're very close and we obviously all share jobs in the same industry so we might work on projects together or share ideas about other projects."
Discussing whether he is ever confused with his brother, he said: "I wish! No. I guess because there aren't too many of us so it's not like a clan of five brothers or more like the Baldwin brothers, which would get quite confusing."
