It’s a Boy for Russell Crowe and Wife

Russell Crowe, star of “A Beautiful Mind,” now is the father of a beautiful child.

Crowe’s wife, Danielle Spencer, gave birth to a baby boy, his publicist said Monday.

Charles Spencer Crowe was born Sunday night, weighing 6 pounds 2 ounces, Crowe’s Australian publicist Wendy Day told Australian Associated Press.

“He’s a healthy, bouncing baby boy looking forward to Christmas,” Day said.

Crowe married Spencer, a 32-year-old singer, April 7 at his sprawling rural property of Nana Glen near the east Australian beach resort town of Coffs Harbour.

The 39-year-old actor, who won an Oscar for “Gladiator,” was nominated for a Golden Globe Award last week for “Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World.”
