Hugh Grant has welcomed his second child, a son, Felix Chang.

After registering the birth on Valentine’s Day last week, Grant was forced to publicly announce his new child, which he had kept secret since the baby was born on December 29.

The mother of the child is Grant’s on-again off-again girlfriend, Tinglan Hong.

“In answer to some journos. Am thrilled my daughter now has a brother. Adore them both to an uncool degree. They have a fab mum.” Grant tweeted.

“And to be crystal clear. I am the Daddy.”

Grant and Hong welcomed their first child together, Tabitha, in September 2011, when it seemed unlikely they would expand their family further.

“I can confirm that Hugh Grant is the delighted father of a baby girl,” Grant’s publicist said at the time.

“He and the mother had a fleeting affair and, while this was not planned, Hugh could not be happier or more supportive.

“He and the mother have discussed everything and are on very friendly terms.

After announcing the arrival of his son, Hugh then took to Twitter with a plea for privacy.

“Thanks for v kind messages. Now I’ve confirmed (press somehow got birth certificate & were calling), hoping my family will be left in peace.”
