Walvis Bay - Hollywood stars Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have had a baby daughter, People magazine said on Sunday.
A representative for the couple said Jolie, 30, had given birth to Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt on Saturday in Namibia. There were no further details available, People reported.
The couple, dubbed "Brangelina", have been closely followed by the tabloids and paparazzi in Namibia since arriving there weeks ago to have their baby.
Jolie reportedly took a shine to Namibia, better known for dunes and diamonds, while filming the movie "Beyond Borders".
The couple have been holed up in a sealed off beach resort in the tiny village of Langstrand and it was unclear if the child had been delivered there or at one of the private hospitals in the nearby towns of Walvis Bay and Swakopmund.
Locals in the Walvis Bay, shrouded in fog on Sunday morning, were thrilled by the celebrity birth.
"It's great ... She has put us on the map. It is a great thing," said resident Della van Noorten.
Pitt, 42, met the Oscar-winning Jolie in 2004 while they were working together on the film Mr and Mrs Smith, in which they played married assassins ordered to kill each other.
The movie ends with them still alive and happily married.
Representatives for Jolie and Pitt could not be immediately reached for comment.
Jolie already has two adopted children - son Maddox, 4, and daughter Zahara, who is about 15 months old.
Green cloth screens mask the beach resort where they are staying and bodyguards and Namibian security have kept a tight cordon around them, hounding some journalists out of town.
Photographers from all over the world have come to the area hoping to capture the first picture of the baby, which is expected to garner a multimillion-dollar price tag.
A South African photographer was arrested on Wednesday for the second time after he was caught on private property trying to snap a picture of Pitt and Jolie.
