Cullum, Dahl announce birth of child

Jamie Cullum and Sophie Dahl have announced the arrival of their first child together.

The celebrity couple released a statement to the media today confirming that model Dahl had actually given birth to a daughter earlier this week.

A representative for the stars stated: "Musician Jamie Cullum and his wife, the author and presenter Sophie Dahl, have become parents.

"Their daughter Lyra was born on March the second. They are over the moon."

The spokesperson added that Cullum and Dahl will not be releasing any further details about their daughter, including her weight and where she was born.

The pair tied the knot in secret last year and first revealed news of Dahl's pregnancy back in September.
