Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin have added to their family. Their second child, a son named Moses Martin, was born this weekend, the actress's rep tells PEOPLE.
The Shakespeare in Love Oscar winner, 33, and her British-born Coldplay frontman husband, 29, already have a daughter, Apple, born May 14, 2004.
Following months of speculation that she was pregnant, in January Paltrow confirmed that she and Martin were expecting. After a Screen Actors Guild screening of Paltrow's movie Proof, Lou Diamond Philips, about to moderate a panel on the film, introduced Paltrow as "a pregnant woman" and then asked her, "How far along are you?"
"Far enough along to feel very cumbersome," Paltrow answered.
When a member of the audience asked her how she got her hair so shiny, Paltrow replied, according to TV's The Insider: "It must be the prenatal vitamins ... I've been taking them for a few years."
Three months after the birth of daughter Apple, the new mother appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show and admitted she couldn't understand why people were making such a fuss over the baby's name, which, in its entirety, is Apple Blythe Alison Martin.
Paltrow said that her husband suggested the name soon after she discovered she was pregnant. "It conjured such a lovely picture for me – you know, apples are so sweet and they're wholesome and it's biblical – and I just thought it sounded so lovely and ... clean," Paltrow told Winfrey. "And I just thought, 'Perfect!'"
"We love unusual names in the family," Paltrow's mom, Blythe Danner, told PEOPLE in January.
As for being a mom, Paltrow told Winfrey that the overwhelming love she feels for her child is "a whole new dimension in emotion that I've never experienced. It's crazy."
Crystalina replied: I didn't even know she was pregnant.  What's his name? Banana?
BTW, I CAN SEE YOUR SIGGY TODAY!!! Finally. I don't know why it wasn't showing up for so long but at least I can see him from the nose down now.
mckayleesmom replied: His name is Moses.....Im pretty sure I don't like Moses as much as Apple.
Imagine when he gets older and talking to girls...
"hi, Im Moses"
Girl....."sure you are buddy" 
luvmykids replied: I'm not sure I like the name Moses but I actually think Apple fits her little girl after she explained that choice.
Cece00 replied: I think BOTH names are ridiculous for children, IMO. I am sure they will eventually be asking her "WTF? Why do we have weird names???" when they get older after ppl give them crap about their names.
ediep replied: I heared this on the radio this morning but I hadn't heared his name.....MOses...I definately don't like it
C&K*s Mommie replied: Congrats to their growing family. 
I like the meaning behind their daughters name. Very sweet! 
mummy2girls replied: yes i dodnt like moses..but i am liking apple more.. expecially after her reasons behind picking that name...
My3LilMonkeys replied: This just shows you how out of touch I am with the world - I don't think I knew she was pregnant!
ashtonsmama replied: OH! I'm a mad People reader normally, but I didn't know she'd had the baby yet! Thanks for keeping me up to speed! Not all for the name Moses, but Apple has definitely grown on me!
Congrats to Gwyneth and Chris! They both seem like sweet, down to earth people...

It hasn't been in people yet......The quote by her mom was from last week...she just had the baby.
ashtonsmama replied:

holley79 replied: I see I'm not on the up and up. LOL. I didn't even know she was prego.
luvbug00 replied: Nothing will ever beat pilot inspektor..LOL!!! all thease poor celebrity kids
Nina J replied: I know a Moses, it's a name that grows on you. I used to think it was weird, but now for me it's not.
It's not as wacky as some celebrity's childrens names.
Maddie&EthansMom replied: I don't think Moses is so weird. Maddie has an "Abraham" in her class. 
I didn't know Gwynie was pg either.
