Cate Blanchett and her husband Andrew Upton have three sons, Dashiell, Roman and Ignatius. I always wondered if Cate and Andrew were trying for the girl at some point, just because Cate is such a fashionista and she seems like she would simply enjoy having a daughter. I guess Cate and Andrew did have some regrets, because word is that they have adopted a baby girl. They named her Vivienne!

Cate Blanchett and husband Andrew Upton have welcomed a beautiful baby girl into their family. Cate, 45 and Andrew, 49, have welcomed a baby girl into their family, their management confirmed today to The Australian Women’s Weekly.

The news came after Cate was seen arriving at her sons’ school to pick them up with the newborn strapped close to her chest.

“She’s really excited and clearly besotted,” a parent at the school reportedly told The Weekly. The new bub is believed to be named Vivienne.

Cate and her theatre director husband Andrew are reported to be deliriously happy with their new addition. The couple already have three children together – all boys. Dashiell, 13, Roman, 10 and Ignatius, six were all conceived naturally but choosing the adoption route is becoming a more common and viable option in Australia.

As Andrew confirmed a week ago, he and Cate are actually going to be uprooting their family from Australia, where they’ve lived for a decade, so they can move to America for a while. It’s believed that they’ll be living in LA, although I wouldn’t think a move to NYC would be out of the question either. Andrew said Cate wanted to do more film and TV work, but I don’t see how she could stay away from theater work, you know? In any case, we’ll probably be seeing more of this family of… SIX!

As for the name Vivienne… I like it! I like it on Vivienne Jolie-Pitt too. It’s a cute name for a little girl, especially with “Viv” and Vivy” as nicknames. Cate is actually quite friendly with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, so… I mean, I doubt anyone cares about a “stolen” (!!) baby name.
