Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Selma Blair has given birth to a baby boy.

The 39-year-old actress and her partner Jason Bleick welcomed son Arthur Saint Bleick into the world yesterday (25.07.11) - 18 days past her due date - her representative has confirmed.

The baby weighed in at 7lbs 12oz.

Selma announced her pregnancy in January, but refused to reveal whether she knew the gender of the baby.

She said only: "I'm not going to say what it is yet. Hopefully, it's one or the other."

Prior to meeting clothing designer Jason 18 months ago,, the brunette beauty - who was married to musician Ahmet Zappa for two years - admitted while she was enjoying spending time with her girlfriends, she was still on the lookout for someone who made her feel good about herself.

She said: "I've just been reconnecting with my friends. I want someone who makes me feel good, if you know what I mean!"

However, Selma - who has been spotted wearing a ring on her engagement finger in recent weeks - admitted she had "little faith" she'd ever find her soulmate.

She explained: "I have very little faith that I'll ever find someone. I've had some bad luck and I've made some bad choices - not in men, but in how I've chosen to deal with relationships."
