Congratulations to Kirsten Dunst! As E! News reports, the actress welcomed her first child, a baby boy, with fiancé Jesse Plemons this past weekend. Dunst confirmed her pregnancy back in January without saying a word—she was simply captured cradling her baby bump in a series of serene photographs for Rodarte's fall/winter 2018 look book.

Despite her subtle reveal, Dunst has apparently been ready for the next phase of her life for some time now. "I'm at a stage in my life where I'm like, I've been working since I was 3. It's time to have babies and chill, you know what I mean?" she told Marie Claire U.K. ""I wasn't one of those 'I need a baby!' people until my goddaughter was born. I love her so much. That love is just like...you can't experience that unless you have a kid. I put her to bed last night and she woke up this morning and said to her mom, 'Where's Kiki?' I just love that love. That's what I want." Congratulations to the growing family!
