Joaquin Phoenix & Rooney Mara's 1st Child😊😊

Back in May, news broke that Rooney Mara was reportedly six months pregnant. While neither she nor partner Joaquin Phoenix ever confirmed the pregnancy, it sounds like now they won’t have to, as their baby has reportedly arrived. According to BuzzFeed, Russian director Viktor Kossakovsky revealed the pair recently welcomed a “beautiful son” during an audience Q&A at the 2020 Zurich Film Festival this weekend. Ostensibly not realizing how private the couple is about their personal lives, Kossakovsky explained that the Joker actor, who executive-produced Kossakovsky’s animal documentary Gunda, was not available to promote the film because he “just got a baby,” a “beautiful son” named River. The name is presumably an homage to Joaquin’s brother River Phoenix, star of films like Stand by Me and My Own Private Idaho, who died in 1993 at the age of 23. Actors Rooney Mara and Joaquin Phoenix have welcomed their first child, and some fans might find the baby boy’s name a little familiar. The couple chose River for their son’s name, honoring his late uncle, Joaquin’s older brother River Phoenix, known for his roles in “Stand By Me,” “Running on Empty” and “My Own Private Idaho.” Russian filmmaker Victor Kossakovsky broke the news during a Sunday Q&A at the 2020 Zurich Film Festival, following a screening of the documentary “Gunda,” featuring Phoenix as an executive producer, Us Weekly reported. River Phoenix died Oct. 31, 1993, at the age of 23, following a drug overdose at the Viper Room in West Hollywood. Joaquin Phoenix, then 19, was with him at the time and called 911, Joaquin Phoenix, 45, won the best actor Oscar for his title role in the 2019 film “Joker,” and Mara, 35, was nominated twice, once for “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” and once for “Carol.” The couple co-starred in 2013′s “Her,” have been romantically linked since 2016 and got engaged in 2019,
