Scarlett Johansson has welcomed her first child with fiancé Romain Dauriac. They named her Rose.

The couple’s representative said that both mother and child are doing well following the birth but they are seeking privacy and they do not wish for the baby girl to grow up in the spotlight.

In March, rumours started flying that the Avenger star was pregnant. Earlier, she said in interviews that she was keen to start a family.

The Lost in Translation BAFTA winner said at the time: 'I would like to have my own family, that would be nice.

'They say it's never the right time and I am sure that's true, but I think you have to plan it like anything else.

'At some point it is something I look forward to.'

The couple was engaged in August 2013 but the star said that she is not in a rush to tie the knot as 'being engaged is an exciting time to enjoy and to really savour.'

Scarlett was previously married to actor Ryan Reynolds from 2008 to 2011.
