Emile Hirsch Welcomes Baby Boy!

As for the baby's mother, the source said "she is a nice, down to earth girl and she will make a great mom."

Earlier this month, E! News had learned that Hirsch was expecting his first child. The Into the Wild star and his baby's mom "met at an Oscar after party this year and had a short fling," the source says.

The two remain friends and plan on raising their son together.

While Hirsch has yet to publicly comment on his new fatherhood, he did tweet on the same day Valor was born, "Love to all my followers, beautiful Sunday." He also recently joked via Twitter, "I have a baby announcement to make. I am in fact @RonanFarrow 's biological father," he shared in the wake of the Mia Farrow and Frank Sinatra paternity drama.

Congrats!
