Add another bambino to the Bening-Beatty brood. Annette Bening gave birth to the couple's third child, Isabel Ira Ashley, on January 11, a spokeswoman confirmed today.

Isabel joins siblings Kathlyn, 4, and brother Ben, 2, in the ever-expanding Beatty bunch.

Annette Bening and Warren Beatty met during the making of Bugsy in 1991. As per his reputation as one of Hollywood's great swordsmen, Beatty bedded costar Bening. A year later, Beatty, then 54, finally abandoned his legendary bachelorhood and wed the actress, then 33, in a secret ceremony two months after Kathlyn's birth.

The couple also starred in 1994's Love Affair.

This is Beatty's first marriage. Bening's marriage to director Steven White ended in divorce; they had no children.
