There will be a little more testosterone in the Garner-Affleck household!

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are welcoming a son after the actress gave birth in Santa Monica, CA a source revealed to People.

The name the couple has chosen for their son has not been released and he will join his older siblings, Violet, 6, and Seraphina, 3 years-old.

In January, Garner told Jay Leno that they knew the sex of the baby (but weren’t going to reveal it then) and their daughters were discussing names for their new sibling:

“Our girls are working on names,” Garner told Leno in January. “At first they were definitely Disney. It was like, Donald Duck, Minnie Mouse Affleck.

“And then they’ve moved on. Then it was Peter Pan, Captain Hook, Smee.”

Affleck and Garner met in 2003 while shooting Daredevil. They married in 2005.

UPDATE: Jen & Ben have named their son Samuel Garner Affleck

Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied may have secretly tied the knot as the two were wearing what appeared to be wedding bands on their ring fingers at the 84th Annual Academy Awards on Sunday.

Jamie Wolf, a jeweler and friend of professional ballet dancer Millepied, released a statement that she designed the couple’s rings but does not state that they are in fact, wedding rings.

“We did make the rings [they're] wearing, but we do not know the significance behind them,” the rep who works exclusively with Wolf said to RumorFix.

“All the articles online are blown up. There is no truth behind the confirmation. [Natalie Portman] never mentioned anything, we know nothing of the sort, she absolutely never mentioned what the significance of the rings are.”

But People (among other online outlets) have said Wolf released a statement and is using the term “wedding rings,” – attributing that phrase to the designer, although not quoting an entire sentence from the designer using that term.

What we do get is how the rings are made of recycled platinum and certified conflict-free diamonds, which speak to the social-conscience of vegan Portman.

“We wanted everything about the ring to speak to things that are important to Natalie,” Wolf told the magazine.

But E!Online seems to have cleared up how the assumption came about.

“I designed the rings worn by Benjamin Millepied and Natalie Portman,” she told E! News. “The style of the rings by definition are wedding rings. However, we cannot confirm a marriage between Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied.

“I can neither confirm nor deny the marriage of Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied, as that is not information I am privy to. I designed rings for the couple and cannot attatch meaning to those items.”

E! also reveals no marriage license for the couple has been found as of yet.

Reps for Portman are not commenting.

Portman, 30, and Millepied, 34, met on the film set of Black Swan. Natalie went on to win the Best Actress Oscar at the 2011 ceremony.

The couple announced their engagement in December of 2010 and she delivered their first child; a son, Aleph, in June of 2011.

Below are a couple of close-ups of the rings the two are sporting. (Read the article)

Stars acceptance speeches are generally forgotten almost as fast as they are given, but White Collar actor Matt Bomer slipped in a thank you to his partner that is making news.

The 34 year-old was being honored at the Steve Chase Humanitarian Awards with the New Generation Arts and Activism accolade on Saturday where he came out and acknowledged his partner, publicist Simon Halls, and their three children.

“I’d really especially like to thank my beautiful family: Simon, Kit, Walker, Henry,” he reportedly told the audience.

“Thank you for teaching me what unconditional love is. You will always be my proudest accomplishment.”

The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation organization posted a thank you to the actor, for publicly revealing his sexuality.

“GLAAD thanks Bomer for his continuing contributions to LGBT media and wishes he and his family the best,” the post read.

Bomer has been the subject of tabloid innuendo and rumor for quite some time but he hasn’t felt the need to respond to the stories until this past weekend.

In a 2010 interview with Details magazine, the actor said he was unconcerned with the all the talk.

“I don’t care about that at all,” Bomer said. “I’m completely happy and fulfilled in my personal life.”

Bomer will be on the big screen in the Larry Kramer drama The Normal Heart, with Alec Baldwin, Mark Ruffalo, Jim Parsons and Julia Roberts.

He is also costarring with Matthew McConaughey and Alex Pettyfer in Magic Mike, Channing Tatum‘s semi-autobiographical tale of his days as a Florida male stripper, directed by Steven Soderberg.

White Collar with Bomer, Tim DeKay and Tiffani Theissen is on Tuesdays on USA Network.

Vanessa Paradis is tired of the speculation that she and longtime partner Johnny Depp have ended their relationship.   People claimed last week that the two were “all but officially over,” and earlier this month Radar Online had Depp consulting an attorney to figure out how to deal with custody issues surrounding the couple’s children, Lily Rose (12) and Jack (9).

Paradis appeared on Le Grand Journal on Tuesday to promote her new movie Cafe De Flore, and took the opportunity to address the gossip.  She told host Ariane Massenet that while she’s accustomed to gossip about her relationship, the break-up buzz simply goes too far.

“People say we are buying houses in the middle of nowhere, or that we have fifty-two houses in France. And that is along with saying we split up every winter and get married every summer, and that I’m on my twelfth pregnancy.

All that is not too serious, but this latest one is a rumor, which could cause a lot of harm to my family and my children.”

Host Michel Denisot directly asked her:

“Why don’t you respond to the rumor and put an end to it? Is the rumor false?”

Paradis then firmly stated: “Yes it’s false.  Of course it’s false.”

Well, alrighty then. If you speak French (or just like to listen to folks speaking French), check out the video below and hear Paradis’ denial for yourself.  Her clip starts at about 5:10.

Shortest engagement ever?   After announcing their engagement just a couple of weeks ago, Aretha Franklin and William “Willie” Wilkerson have already called it off.   They released the following statement today:

“Regretfully, To Our Friends and Supporters: Will and I have decided we were moving a little too fast, and there were a number of things that had not been thought through thoroughly.  There will be no wedding at this time.”

“We will not comment on it any further because of the very personal and sensitive nature of it. We appreciate all of the many well wishes from friends.”

The pair, who have been partners and friends for more than 20 years, had been planning to wed this summer.

You’ve got to wonder what happened here, but hopefully they’ll be able to remain friends.

Looks like the rumors were unfortunately true: Hollywood power couple Heidi Klum and Seal are ending their marriage. They made the following statement on Sunday:

“While we have enjoyed seven very loving, loyal and happy years of marriage, after much soul-searching we have decided to separate.

“We have had the deepest respect for one another throughout our relationship and continue to love each other very much, but we have grown apart. This is an amicable process and protecting the well-being of our children remains our top priority, especially during this time of transition.

“We thank our family, friends, and fans for their kind words of support. And for our children’s sake, we appreciate you respecting our privacy.”

It’s a very civilized statement, but the current buzz is that Klum just can’t deal with Seal’s bad temper anymore, especially its effects on their children, Leni (7), Henry (6), Johan (5) and Lou (2).  Other sources say that she’s tired of all the partying he does while he’s on tour.  And then again, there’s always that pesky little seven year itch…

The couple were known for renewing their wedding vows each year on their anniversary.  They had just done so in May 2011, in Palm Beach, Florida.

Avril Lavigne and Brody Jenner supposedly ended their relationship last week, but their recent Tweets to each other might indicate otherwise.  Although several sources reported earlier this week that the couple broke up, they’ve continued to send each other very sweet messages on Twitter.

On Wednesday, Jenner Tweeted:

It really upsets me to read all the FALSE!! stories. Avril has always been there for me and is the closest person to my heart. I love her

Lavigne responded:

luv u 2!!! @BrodyJenner

The rumor mill has suggested that Jenner doesn’t just want to be Lavigne’s “plus one” and follow her on tour – he wants his own career.   However, with Tweets like that, we just can’t tell what’s going on, can we?

Speaking of tours, Lavigne kicks off an Asian tour next month; she’ll hit cities in Japan, China, Malaysia and the Philippines.  Whew!

Two of the most gorgeous people on the planet are taking themselves off the singles market.

Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez are reportedly set to tie the knot according to the engagement ring designer.

Berry, 45, and Martinez, 46, met on the set of their film Dark Tides and have been dating for over a year.

Halle, who has two past marriages (baseball player David Justice and singer Eric Benet are her ex-husbands) has told pals she didn’t think she would marry again but Olivier changed her mind.

“Halle has found her true soulmate in Olivier and it’s only a matter of time before they tie the knot,” a friend of the  pair said.

“She’s madly in love and knows she wants to spend the rest of her life with him. Olivier has been the rock that Halle has never had in any of her relationships.”

Berry has a daughter, Nahla Rose, with her former boyfriend of 5 years, model Gabriel Aubry with whom she shares custody.

Olivier has dated Mira Sorvino and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. He was also singer Kylie Minogue‘s boyfriend while she underwent treatment for breast cancer.

A reported October wedding is in the works for the couple.

Reports are circulating that Evan Rachel Wood and boyfriend Jamie Bell have become engaged but is it true?

Wood and Bell were photographed leaving The Hotel Cafe in Hollywood and the True Blood actress was seen wearing a sparkler on her ring finger that has websites assuming the couple has become engaged.

Bell, 25, was spotted shopping for engagement rings in Beverly Hills last month adding fuel to the speculation and US Weekly cites a source as confirming the duo’s new relationship status.

No official word from either actor’s reps but Wood has shot down the rumor in the past.

At the Ides of March premiere in November she was asked about a ring she wore on her engagement ring and she said it wasn’t what people assumed.

Sorry to disappoint, but I have been wearing that diamond on my left hand since I was 14,” she tweeted at the time. “It was my aunts. Any engagement rumor is false.”

The two met in 2005 on the set of Green Day‘s video “Wake Me Up (When September Ends)” and dated for a year before going their separate ways.

As for an engagement, whether it’s the same ring or a brand new one, no one is saying just yet, so for now it remains an unconfirmed rumor.
