Chloe Sevigny has given birth to her first child with boyfriend Sinisa Mackovic.

A representative for the actor confirmed that she had the baby over the weekend and that both mother and child are doing well.

“Chloe had her baby on Saturday and all are happy and healthy,” the spokesperson said.

No further details, including the baby's name and sex, have been revealed.

News of the American Horror Story: Hotel star’s pregnancy first broke in January when Sevigny was spotted walking through New York alongside Mackovic with her growing baby bump on show.

The 45-year-old went on to confirm the reports herself with a series of artistic, black-and-white, portraits photographed by director Jim Jarmusch.

Since then, the former model has been documenting her pregnancy on social media, and expressed her concerns about giving birth during the coronavirus pandemic.

In March, hospitals in New York announced that partners would not be allowed to be present at births during lockdown as a precaution.

Speaking about the news on Instagram, Sevigny wrote: “I hope all expecting families are finding some calm. Today’s news in NY was very distressing for all.”

In April, the actor said that she and Mackovic still had not decided on a name for their baby.

“Our baby's due in 8 days and we don't have a name yet,” Sevigny told Homme Girls, before joking that her “idea of fun” at the moment would be “pushing this bebe out”.

Sevigny has been dating art gallery director Mackovic for more than a year.
