Joseph Gordon-Levitt has officially joined the celebrity dads club! In surprising news, it has been confirmed the actor and new wife Tasha McCauley welcomed a son last weekend.

"The family is all happy and healthy," an unnamed source told People while confirming the news -- and that's just about all we get to know about the baby boy. His name is being kept private at this time, as well as further details about his arrival.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt opting to keep details about his family private shouldn't come as too big of a surprise.

"I have a girlfriend, but I tend not to really like to talk about it in public," the 34-year-old star told Howard Stern in 2013 while sharing a bit about his personal life but not going so far as to name any names. "The girl that I’m with, she really doesn’t want to be a part of that."

While I do respect the new parents' right to privacy, I'll also admit I'm curious what they've decided to call their little one. The first name, of course, but also the last name(s).

Perhaps Joseph and Tasha will hyphenate the last names just as his parents (Dennis Levitt and Jane Gordon) chose to do? How does that work when the mother of father already has a hyphenated name?

If anyone knows I'd be curious to hear.

Congratulations to the new parents on their son's arrival -- as well as on keeping such a big secret!
