Make way for the prince! Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan have been blessed with a baby boy. Kareena gave birth to her first child on Tuesday morning at 7:30 am at Mumbai's Breach Candy Hospital. Both mother and baby are said to be doing fine. They have named the baby, Taimur Ali Khan.

A statement released on behalf of the actors read: "We are very pleased to share with you all the wonderful news about the birth of our son : Taimur Ali Khan Pataudi, on December 20, 2016.

"We would like to thank the media for the understanding and support they have given us over the last nine months, and of course especially our fans and well wishers for their continued affection. Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you all...With love, Saif and Kareena."

Proud aunt, actress Karisma Kapoor announced the news on her Instagram page with a cute post.

Kareena was recently seen celebrating an early Christmas with her sister Karisma and friends Malaika and Amrita Arora as her due date was fast approaching.

Saif, who was married to Amrita Singh earlier, has two children-Sarah and Ibrahim- with the actress.

In one of his recent interviews, Saif while talking about Kareena’s pregnancy, had said, “I think it’s also a great expression of my relationship with Kareena. To have a child now completes us. There is something about a baby that is kind of half of mine and half of hers, so, it’s a nice feeling.”

According to earlier reports, Kareena and Saif wanted to refer their baby Saifeena. These rumours started doing the rounds when Kareena was quyoted as saying, “He finds it really funny. He says we’ll name our child Saifeena.”

However, Saif soon issued a statement to put these rumours to rest.
