Joaquin Phoenix, Rooney Mara welcome a baby boy; name him River Phoenix

Congratulations are in order, Oscar-winner Joaquin Pheonix and fiance, Rooney Mara, have become parents to a baby boy!
The couple has reportedly named their son after Phoenix's late older brother, actor River Phoenix, who passed away in 1993 at the age of 23 of a drug overdose.
According to international portals, the news was shared by Russian filmmaker Victor Kossakovsky during a Q&A at the 2020 Zurich Film Festival on Sunday, post the screening of his documentary 'Gunda', executive produced by Pheonix.
"He just got a baby, by the way, his name was ... a beautiful son called River, so he cannot promote it now," Kossakovsky said when quizzed about the 'Joker' star.
It was confirmed in May that Mara, 35, and Phoenix, 45, were expecting their first child together.
The couple met in 2016 on the sets of 'Mary Magdalene', in which Mara played the title role alongside Phoenix as Jesus.
They started dating soon after and made their red carpet debut at the closing ceremony of Cannes Film Festival 2017.
Months later, Phoenix confirmed in an interview that they were living together in the Hollywood Hills.
The duo got engaged last year in July.
