Zooey Deschanel has welcomed her second child with producer Jacob Pechenik.

Her publicist confirmed the news to HelloGiggles: “Zooey, Jacob and their daughter Elsie are overjoyed to welcome the newest member of their family."

And the couple, who have been dating since 2014, have finally revealed the name of their newborn son. According to E! Online, they have chosen to name him, Charlie Wolf.

And it's hardy surprising, as the couple opted for another animal-inspired name for their 18-month-old daughter, Elsie Otter.

Speaking about becoming a mother in an interview with Redbook magazine, the actress said, 'I've never really felt like an adult. But I think it's a huge accomplishment to have a child so maybe I feel like an adult for that reason!'

'I think it's good for your whole self - your creative self, your professional self, and just your soul - to take a little time for yourself and your family. You can spend your whole life going after things, but I think you risk missing out on some really powerful self-reflection,' she added.

Discussing her daughter's unusual, animal-inspired middle name on the Today Show, Zooey said otters are 'very sweet and they are also smart.'

We cannot wait for the pictures.
