Cate Blanchett's fairy-tale ending has come true: She's a mum again!

The Cinderella actress recently welcomed her fourth child, a daughter, with husband Andrew Upton through adoption, her rep confirms to WHO.

The baby girl -- Edith Vivian Patricia -- joins the Sydney-based, Oscar-winning actress, 45, and her screenwriter husband's three sons, Ignatius Martin, 7 next month, Roman Robert, 10, and Dashiell John, 13. "We're thrilled," Andrew Upton told The Daily Telegraph outside their Hunters Hill home on Saturday morning.

Blanchett has spoken in the past of her desire to expand her family with Upton, 49. "I'd love to have more children," she told InStyle a year after Ignatius was born.

"Just when, I don't know. But the thing is, we hadn't planned any of the others. They just popped out. So you shouldn't overplan these things. If it happens, it would be great."
