It's a good week to be Javier Bardem. On Tuesday the "Biutiful" star found out he was nominated for an Academy Award, and now comes news that he and his Oscar-winning wife, Penélope Cruz, have welcomed their first child.

According to multiple reports, the baby was born on Tuesday at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles. Further information, including the name and gender of the baby, has not been released. In addition, the couple has not yet released a statement confirming the news. A rep for Cruz had no further details, and Bardem's had not responded to MTV News' requests for comment by press time.

Bardem and Cruz married in July 2010 after knowing each other for nearly 20 years. They revealed that they were expecting a bundle of joy several months later, in September, when Bardem confirmed the rumors to the press without discussing any more details.

On Tuesday, while he gave no hint about the baby news, Bardem, who previously won an Oscar for his work in "No Country for Old Men," released a lengthy statement about his latest Oscar nod. "I am truly honored for this nomination," Bardem said in a statement. "And deeply thankful to the Academy members for their trust and support. Also to all of those who showed their support to my work in 'Biutiful' I express my heartfelt gratitude. I am very happy for Alejandro [González-Iñárritu] and everyone who has made possible the special movie we made together. It's really a huge honor to have been nominated in a non-English speaking performance and in the name of all my colleagues in Spain and mine I want to show my gratitude to the Academy for support and a recognition in this nomination for the movie 'Biutiful.' "
