"The Mummy" star Rachel Weisz has become a mummy.

The British actress - who won an Oscar earlier this year (06) for her supporting role in "The Constant Gardener" - gave birth to her son in New York.

The boy is the first child for Weisz and her fiance, "Requiem For A Dream" director Darren Aronofsky.

Despite becoming a mum in the same year as winning an Academy Award, Weisz ruled out naming her first born after the gong.

At the ceremony in March, she said: "We've narrowed it down to a few choices but Oscar isn't among them."

In January, the 35-year-old actress - who started her career at the ADC Theatre in Cambridge, England, while studying at university in the city - revealed she was expecting after finding her ideal man.

She told "The Tonight Show" host Jay Leno: "I found myself a sophisticated, educated American. He's not an actor. He's traveled the world. He knows where Europe is, unlike a lot of Americans. He's very cultured, but he's all man."

Meanwhile, Weisz recently revealed that she didn't develop cravings for bizarre foods during her pregnancy - despite being prepared to eat weird foods.

She confessed: "I was expecting all the weird things. There's this jar of pickles sitting in the fridge. It's been there for months and she hasn't even eaten one."
