Minnie is a mommy!

Her rep confirms Usmagazine.com's exclusive report that the British-born actress, 38, has welcomed her first child, a baby boy.

Henry Story Driver who weighed 9 lbs., 12 oz. was born Friday in Los Angeles.

Driver has refused to reveal the father's identity, but has denied it is San Francisco musician Craig Zolezzi.

The baby's father is English and "sort of in the same business," she told the U.K.'s Independent in May. (She also revealed that they have no plans to wed in the "near future.")

The actress revealed she was pregnant in March on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno after Leno joked that it looked like she had gained weight.

Driver told Leno that she loved being pregnant, "more than anything else," but admitted, "I am sick."

"I don't know why they call it morning sickness," she said. "I am sick morning, noon and night, but it's a fair trade-off."

In April, she told Us she hasn't "wanted to eat as much food as I think I want to eat! I'm not as hungry as everyone told me I'd be."

Driver who did not know the baby's gender while pregnant has said she wanted to give birth naturally.

"I'm totally the crunchy, Mother Earth-type, and I'm not looking for any type of intervention," she has said. "So I'm afraid."

During the last few weeks of her pregnancy, she said she was playing guitar for the baby.

"I think it likes it," she said. "It moves around a lot."

She recently filmed the aptly-titled comedy Motherhood, due out next year, with Uma Thurman.
