Naomi Watts and her partner Live Schreiber have welcomed their second child, a baby boy, just in time for Christmas.

The Australian actress gave birth on Saturday and a rep for the 40-year-old released a statement saying: ‘I can confirm Naomi and Live had a baby boy yesterday’. No details have been given yet of a name or weight.

Director Schreiber and Watts have been dating since 2005 when they met on the set of Chinese romantic drama, The Painted Veil and already have a boy together – Alexander Pete Schreiber, who was born in July last year.

A mom through and through, Watts proudly said of her first-born earlier this year: ‘He’s turning pages in the book. He’s crawling and standing up. He can wave. I read Goodnight Moon to him every night.’

Nicole Kidman is preparing to give birth for the first time – and luckily she has Naomi Watts to talk her through it.

“Whenever you’re pregnant, you always call on your pregnant friends and compare notes,” the 39-year-old Watts – who gave birth to son Alexander Pete last July – told PEOPLE Monday at a press conference to discuss her new role as the face of Angel, a fragrance by designer Thierry Mugler. “It’s what happens in friendship.”

So will Kidman, 40 – who’s expecting her first child with husband Keith Urban – be a good mom?

“Of course!” said Watts. In fact, since the Oscar-winner has two adopted children, Isabella and Connor, with her ex-husband Tom Cruise, “She’s already a great mum.”

While little Alexander – whose dad is actor Liev Schreiber – didn’t put in an appearance at the event, Watts said he’s growing up fast.

“He’s turning pages in the book,” she said proudly. “He’s crawling and standing up. He can wave. I read Goodnight Moon to him every night.”

Naomi Watts has a new job as the face of Thierry Mugler’s famous Angel fragrance.

The new mom, who has been off the Hollywood radar since giving birth to little Alexander next July, will be back on the big screen with a vengeance in 2009, with four films currently in pre- or post-production.

However, before then, it’ll be her new Angel perfume ads filing the glossy magazines, with the first set to debut in October.

The latest thriller from Canadian film auteur David Cronenberg has been chosen to open Spain’s San Sebastian Film Festival, organizers announced Tuesday.

The director’s London-set crime world thriller Eastern Promises — starring Viggo Mortensen, Naomi Watts and Vincent Cassel — will open the event’s 55th edition, the Spanish-speaking world’s oldest and largest such festival.

U.S. novelist and screenplay author Paul Auster, who serves as president of the San Sebastian festival’s jury this year, will see his latest directorial effort, The Inner Life of Martin Frost, screened out of competition at the Spanish fest.
