The only further details revealed about their newborn is that they were born earlier this year. The couple has yet to disclose the baby’s gender & name.

Previous suspicions from the press

Rumors about the couple secretly having a baby first erupted after Alicia Vikander and Michael Fassbender were first seen pushing a baby stroller down the streets of Paris in August. 

The truth became even more evident when Vikander was seen holding her new baby while traveling the scenic streets of Ibiza, Spain earlier this month. 

However, it wasn’t until Vikander’s latest interview that the rumors were confirmed. The couple had successfully hidden Vikander’s pregnancy and even impressively kept the birth of their first child under wraps.

Alicia Vikander met the German-born Irish actor on the set of The Light Between Oceans. They soon began dating in December 2014. In 2017, the couple married in a private ceremony in Ibiza and now reside in the picturesque city of Lisbon, Portugal.

Alicia Vikander told Vogue in 2018 that marriage to Michael Fassbender was “blissful”. “I feel I’m more happy and content than I’ve ever been,” she shared, additionally describing Fassbender as “one of the absolute best actors I’ve worked with.”

“He was so open to wanting me to chip in new ideas and thoughts,” on The Light Between Oceans. “He would be like, ‘I’m stuck; what should I do?’ and I would say, ‘You’re asking me?’ That was such a sweet thing.”
