Guy Pearce and Carice van Houten welcome a baby boy

Guy Pearce and Carice van Houten are now parents, The Times has confirmed — and their first-time baby announcement is equal parts cute and quirky.

“A cute little package arrived and told us his name’s Monte Pearce,� the “Memento� actor tweeted Monday. “We think we’re gonna keep him. Placenta smoothie anyone?�

Aww! And, um, eww …

“Both Carice and Monte are doing very well,� said a rep for Van Houten, the Dutch actress who plays Melisandre on “Game of Thrones.� The baby was born last week, though they’re keeping the exact birth date “L.A. Confidential� for now.

Cute fact: When the couple announced in March that they were expecting a child, they were already anticipating some “shadowbaby� jokes. “GoT� fans will understand why.

Aussie actor Pearce, 48, and Van Houten, who turns 40 next week, worked together in 2015 on the western thriller “Brimstone.�

They sparked relationship rumors early this year when they were photographed grocery shopping together in Los Angeles, E! News reported. The romance apparently started about a year after Pearce’s January 2014 split with Kate Mestitz, his high school sweetheart, following 18 years of marriage.
