Update: Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter welcome a daughter
Update: Our source was correct! Helena gave birth to a baby girl in London last evening, her US rep confirms to CBB. Her UK rep told People,
They are absolutely delighted they have a daughter. It’s a lovely Christmas present for thefamily.
The couple will not be releasing details at this time, except that she was 7 lbs, 12 oz. They had not found out the sex of the baby prior to the delivery.
On Thursday, Helena told People,
We were talking about inducing, and Tim got a call from his assistant. I do look like a globe, soit’s kind of funny. I am very round. I just can’t wait. It’s hard to imagine we can make anything other than Billy.
Update 1:30 pm: We have heard that Helena and Tim welcomed a daughter last evening. Although the source seems trustworthy, we caution that we have not used them before and do not know how reliable they may be.
Again, if we receive more information, we will update.
Originally posted December 15th: From what actress Helena Bonham Carter, 41, said on Thursday, it appears that she and fiance, director Tim Burton, 49, may be parents for the second time by now. The actress stated when asked about her recent Golden Globe nomination,
Tim’s assistant gave us the news. We’re in the hospital because I’m supposed to have a baby tomorrow. It comes at a time when there’s a larger event happening, an event almost as large as my stomach right now.
The new baby joins big brother Billy Ray, 4. The couple announced the pregnancy in August, with Helena opening up about their fertility struggle in October.

I kinda had a feeling that they were expecting a daughter, and I am very happy to hear that everyone is doing well.

Congrats to them! That said, does anybody remember how long it took them before releasing Billy’s info? I have to admit that I was surprised to see that they haven’t released their new daughter’s info, since they obviously released Billy’s. However, for all I know, it could have been several weeks or even months after Billy was born before they released his info, which is why I am asking.

Congrats! I love them both; they are beyond brilliant. Can’t wait to see the baby/hear her name, and see Sweeney Todd!

That is certainly a lovely Christmas present. I am sure that Billy will be a doting big brother. Congratulations to Tim and Helena.

I heard the name is Indiana Rose.

The website http://www.moldova.org doesn’t appear very reliable… No other website is backing this info up. Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter choose Billy Ray after both their fathers. So… I think they will name their daughter something like Ella Jean or Eliza Jean. (Helena’s mom is Elena and Tim’s mother is Jean.) Also, Ella/ Eliza Jean is the same style as Billy Ray.

Hey I heard that you can never trust any website. I heard though that Helena Got angry because people call her daughter Indiana Rose… But also I cant trust that to be true either… But also if she did I don’t blame her because I would get mad at that too. Well anyways Congratz on the baby girl. Talk to you all later
