Félicitations to Jean Dujardin and Nathalie Péchalat!

The Artist actor, 43, and French ice dancer, 31, welcomed a baby girl named Jeanne Sunday night, Closer Magazine and People report. This is the first child for Péchalat and the third for Dujardin, who has two sons, Simon, 14, and Jules, 13, from a previous relationship.

Dujardin and Péchalat have reportedly been together for a year. In 2013, the Oscar winner split from wife Alexandra Lamy after four years of marriage.  The Wolf of Wall Street actor made the breakup announcement at Quai Des Orfevres 2014 Literary Prize event in Paris, where he reportedly told journalists, "It has been eight months that tabloids have been trying to make me out as depressed, an alcoholic, a womaniser… This is no more, or less, than the story of a couple who are separating, like any other couple."

In spite of any trouble the tabloids might have caused, though, Dujardin told reporters he was "well and very happy" to continue focusing on his movie career. This has included a role in George Clooney's The Monuments Men as well as a part in the upcoming French film Un plus une.

According to his IMDB profile, Dujardin is currently filming Brice de Nice 3 and is expected to star in Le petit joueur in 2016 as well.

This next year should be a busy and exciting one for the French star!
