  • Robert Downey, Jr. and Wife: It’s A Girl

    Robert Downey, Jr. and wife Susan Downey are the proud parents of a new baby girl, born on Tuesday, the 4th of November. This is the third time at parenthood for the the Iron Man star and the second for his wife. Downey, Jr. has a 21-year-old son named Indio, from his previous relationship with girlfriend Deborah Falconer. He and Susan Downey already have a son together. Exton Elias Downey is two.

    People magazine reports it was via social media that Robert Downey, Jr. shared word of Avri Roel Downey’s arrival into the world.

    Check out the proud papa’s Twitter message.

    It was in July when the couple announced they were expecting for the second time. Robert Downey, Jr. met Susan on the set of the film Gothika back in 2003. Word of baby Avri’s birth was some positive news that was badly needed by the Downey family. A little less than two months ago, Robert Downey, Jr.’s mother, actress Elsie Downey, died in Los Angeles. She was 80 years old.

    In addition to presently starring on the big screen in The Judge, Downey, Jr. is set to star in 2015 in Avengers: Age of Ultron. Susan Downey was once the co-president of Dark Castle Entertainment and the executive vice president of production at Silver Pictures. She stepped down from those positions to form a production house called Team Downey with Robert Downey, Jr.

    Congratulations are no doubt finding their way to the entire Downey family on the birth of their new bundle of joy.

  • Robert Downey Jr. & Wife Welcome Baby Girl

    Robert Downey Jr.’s family has just gotten bigger.

    According to People, Downey Jr. and his wife Susan Downey welcomed their second child together, a baby girl, in Los Angeles on Wednesday, November 5.

    The Iron Man star announced the exciting news on his personal Facebook page.

    “After 9 months of intensive development, Team Downey is pleased to announce our 2014 fall/winter project,” Downey Jr. joked. “Principal photography commenced 11-14 and will continue until she says, “Dad! You are embarrassing me…I’m 30, this has gotta stop.”

    “Yep…Avri Roel Downey joined the party @ 3:22 a.m. on November 4th…she’s 7lbs even, spans 20 inches, and is accompanied by a variety of Susan’s traits that have seemingly overwritten my “junk DNA.” I’ll post pics here + there when I’m not too busy staring…” he added.

    On Thursday, October 30, while accepting an award at the BAFTA Los Angeles Jaguar Britannia Awards in Beverly Hills, Downey Jr. spoke about his wife’s pregnancy.

    “For the safety of herself and others, I firmly believe that she rigged it for me to get this thing so I’ll be distracted by the implications just long enough for her to get through labor and deliver our baby girl,” he said. “She trusts [childbirth] will be a breeze compared to developing projects with me when I’m coffeed up, when I’m an ‘idea machine.’ Or worse yet, when I’m right because ‘I made it! I’m powerful! People like me! If this is the mafia, you know, I’m an earner.’”

    “Mrs. Downey, any day now when you’re in the throes of birthing, if you need to yell at me or scratch me, scratch my face or blind me, it’s fine,” he added. “Because, yes, I did that to you.”

    The new baby will join the couple’s other child, two-year-old Exton Elias. Downey Jr. also has another child from a previous relationship, 21-year-old Indio.

    Congratulations to the happy couple!
