Tinglan Hong and Hugh Grant welcome second child, a baby boy

Hugh Grant has announced today he is “thrilled” that he has become a father for the second time.

Hugh Grant, 52, has had a baby boy with Tinglan Hong, the mother of his daughter Tabitha.

The actor tweeted: “In answer to some journos. Am thrilled my daughter now has a brother.

“Adore them both to an uncool degree. They have a fab mum.”

Hugh Grant already has a daughter with partner Tinglan Hong, who is 19 years his junior.

In September 2011 Hugh Grant welcomed his first child Tabitha, after a “fleeting affair” with Tinglan Hong.

It is not known if Hugh Grant and Tinglan Hong are currently in a relationship.

Many of Hugh Grant’s Twitter followers rushed to congratulate him on the arrival.

In a candid interview Hugh Grant explained that he liked his daughter “very much”, but said that she hasn’t changed his life.

Hugh Grant, who has never married, dated Elizabeth Hurley for 13 years before they split in 2000, five years after he was caught cheating with Hollywood prostitute Divine Brown.

The actor and socialite Jemima Khan then dated for three years from 2004.
