Joaquin Phoenix & Rooney Mara Have Welcomed A Baby Boy!

Awarded actor, notable activist and now DADDY.

Joaquin Pheonix and his fiance Rooney Mara have welcomed a little boy into the world, sources say.

It is their first child together after they became engaged in May last year.

Sunday night was the Zurich Film Festival, where director Victor Kassakovy shared the reason for Joaquin’s absence. He was supposed to be there promoting his newest movie “Gunda”.

In this clip, you hear Kassakovy share that the couple has named their son River, which is the name of Joaquin’s late brother.

River passed away in 1993 at the age of 23 due to a drug overdose.

As Kassakovy says, this is a beautiful way to honor his brother, so his name and legacy live on.

Check out this video from last year’s Oscar’s, where he won Best Actor and mentioned his brother:
