Simon Pegg is boldly going where many a man has gone before—diaper duty.

The Star Trek star and his wife, Maureen McCann, have welcomed their first child, a baby girl. No further details—birth date, vital stats, etc.—were immediately released.

The British comic actor, 39, and his missus tied the knot in July 2005, a year after he shot to fame battling flesh-eating zombies in Shaun of the Dead. He's currently in theaters playing the young Scotty in Star Trek.

Pegg (who happens to be the godfather of Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin's 5-year-old daughter, Apple) will next be starring in Steven Spielberg's The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn.
