Kate Middleton's younger sister Pippa Middleton has given birth to her and James Matthews' first baby, a boy. Daily Mail's royal correspondent Rebecca English tweeted the news, writing, "James and Pippa Matthews (Middleton) have had a baby boy. He was born Monday 15th October at 1.58pm, weighing 8lb and 9oz. Everyone is delighted and Mother and baby are doing well."

The news comes after Pippa was seen entering Lindo Wing, the same hospital where her sister gave birth to all of her children, with Matthews on Monday. The couple had overnight bags with them.

Pippa announced her pregnancy in June when she started her column series for Waitrose Weekend on exercising while pregnant. "When I learned the happy news that I was pregnant, I realized I needed to adjust my normal 4-to-5-day-a-week routine and find a way of continuing my exercise safely throughout the three trimesters," she wrote in the column.

Pippa reportedly has kept the gender of her baby a surprise to her family-at least according to her brother-in-law Spencer Matthews, who told UK's This Morning talk show that the couple hadn't shared the news with their family if they did know. “They’re extremely private, and honestly, we know nothing.”
