The 38-year-old actor’s wife Rhea Durham – with who he already has children Ella, six, Michael, four and Brendan, 16 months – gave birth to daughter Margaret Grace at 6.35pm last night (11.01.10) at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

A source said: “Mark was in the delivery room with Rhea. And he cheered her on all the way. Rhea was a real trouper, and now they can’t wait to get home and be a big happy family with their four kids.”

The ‘Lovely Bones’ star revealed last October that he and his model spouse –who he married last August after eight years together – were expecting their second baby girl.

He said: “I’m having another girl. So I’ll have two girls and two boys.”

While the family were thrilled to be having a fourth child, Mark was adamant that they will have no more.

He said: “I’m the youngest of nine, and my dad has a few others. No, four is enough. We were all raised with a lot of love. But we didn’t get the kind of attention I think that we all needed.

“My parents had to provide to put food on the table. My mission in life is to raise my kids right. With all the success I’ve had in the world, if I fail at that, my life means nothing.”

The actor – whose eldest child Jett died after suffering a seizure on holiday in the Bahamas in January aged 16 – was astonished by the messages of support he, wife Kelly Preston and daughter Ella, nine, received from well-wishers after the tragedy.

He said: “I just want to take one moment to thank each and every one of you throughout this country, throughout the world for all your support and all your love for our family. Thank you very much.”

The ‘Pulp Fiction’ star is throwing himself into a new hobby to help cope with his grief – playing tennis late at night with his staff.

He explained to US talk show host Ellen DeGeneres:  “I play at midnight. Kind of vampire style.

“The house manager and the house maintenance person, they both live my hours, so … at midnight we go to the local tennis court.”

Earlier this week, John revealed he and his family have been undergoing daily Scientology counselling to help cope with their grief.

He said: “We’ve been working very hard every day as a family to heal. We have our own way of doing it, and it has been helping.”

The ‘Pulp Fiction’ star – whose eldest child Jett, 16, died after suffering a seizure during a holiday to the Bahamas in January – is taking religious counselling with his family to help them work through the tragedy.

John – who along with wife Kelly Preston is a follower of sci-fi cult Scientology – said: “We’ve been working very hard every day as a family to heal.

“We have our own way of doing it, and it has been helping.”

Kelly added: “The outpouring of love from, really, worldwide has been extraordinary. It’s been our friends, our family, our church.

“We partake in spiritual counselling pretty much daily.”

John, 55, and 47-year-old Kelly – who also have nine-year-old daughter Ella – have avoided the spotlight since Jett’s death but admit they have relied heavily on the support of friends.

Kelly added: “It’s a tricky thing. Sometimes, something that’s right for the moment is not right the next day.

“Being with people who are important to you, being with people that you love, I think that’s what has primarily helped us the most. Sometimes, being alone, too.”

The ‘Shooter’ actor has revealed the sex of his fourth child with Rhea Durham, which is due next year.

The 38-year-old star said: “I’m having another girl. So I’ll have two girls and two boys.”

Mark and Rhea – who already have three children together, Ella, six, Michael, three and 13-month-old Brendan Joseph – are eagerly awaiting the latest addition to their family, but Mark is hoping it will be their last.

He explained: “I’m the youngest of nine, and my dad has a few others. No, four is enough. We were all raised with a lot of love. But we didn’t get the kind of attention I think that we all needed.

“My parents had to provide to put food on the table. My mission in life is to raise my kids right. With all the success I’ve had in the world, if I fail at that, my life means nothing.”

But if Rhea wants more children, Mark admits he’ll let her have her way.

He joked to People magazine: “My wife is allowed to pick the magic number… as many as she wants to have.

“What I want to do is I want to raise my kids right. I want to give them the world, but I also want them to appreciate it.”

The ‘Bride Wars’ actress doesn’t hold back when it comes to telling those close to her – including mother Goldie Hawn and stepfather Kurt Russell – the intimate details of her love life with New York Yankees baseball player Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez.

A source close to the star told Us Weekly magazine: “They love sex! They talk about it all day. Kate gets graphic talking about his body, even to her parents.”

The 30-year-old actress – who has a five-year-old son Ryder with ex-husband Chris Robinson – has grown increasingly close to the 34-year-old sportsman since they started dating in May and pals claim she has helped curb his wild ways.

A friend said: “She’s with him every second. Kate is changing him for the better. He’s more free-spirited.”

Earlier this month, rumours spread the couple are considering getting married, after they moved in together in New York.

A source said: “Kate is head-over-heels for Alex and he feels the same way. As long as things continue to be so great, they will get married. They are practically there already with the shared homes.”

Alex has two children, Natasha, five, and 18-month-old Ella, with ex-wife Cynthia.
