On Wednesdays, we wear pink. But on this particular Tuesday, we’re definitely wearing blue... In honor of Rachel McAdams’s new baby boy, of course.

It appears the Game Night actress recently gave birth to her first child. Although she has yet to comment, People reports that photographs have surfaced of McAdams walking with her boyfriend, Jamie Linden, who is carrying a newborn. 

The fact that you probably didn’t even know the couple was expecting, or that they were even an item? No, it’s not because you’re not a member of the Plastics. McAdams and screenwriter Linden have kept their relationship under wraps and have rarely appeared in public together (and never on the red carpet as a couple), although they’ve reportedly been dating for about two years. 

Linden, 37, was previously linked to Zooey Deschanel and wrote the screenplays for Dear JohnWe Are Marshall and Money Monster. News of McAdams’s pregnancy was confirmed about a month ago after the 39-year-old actress missed the premiere of her new movie, Game Night.

Congrats to the happy couple! Or should we say: You go, Glen Coco Rachel and Jamie.
