The Oscar-winning actress and hubby Paul Bettany welcomed daughter Agnes Lark Bettany who was born during a scheduled home water birth in a birthing pool. Connelly's rep released the following statement:

    "Everyone is healthy and doing well. The family is very excited."


During a visit to The Late Show with David Letterman back in January, Connelly, 40, told Letterman:

    "The first three months were very sketchy. You know how like you have your cell phone and you have to stand in one spot? It was like that with nausea. I had to stand in one spot, which happened to be in front of my refrigerator, which was open with me dipping pretzels in cream cheese and stuffing them in my mouth."


This is baby #3 for the A Beautiful Mind actress. Read about her other children ... after the jump.
