The ‘American Horror Story’ star and her boyfriend Garrett Hedlund became first time parents when they welcomed their son Rhodes on December 27, and to keep their baby safe amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the couple have put strict quarantine rules in place before family members can see the new arrival.
A source said: “[They are] trying to keep the news of her giving birth super low-key and under the radar.
“They barely told any of their friends and have mainly been relying on their respective families. They have in-house help that is teaching them and helping them out while they’re adjusting, but they are being very strict about quarantining and having visitors and guests.”
Emma and Garrett are keen to “fully enjoy and embrace this moment as a couple”, and reportedly haven’t even been accepting baby shower gifts.
The insider added to ‘Entertainment Tonight’: "They’re not even fully accepting presents at the moment. Of course, if someone sends them something, they will, but they aren’t asking for anything.”
Rhodes was born in Los Angeles and reportedly weighed around nine pounds, according to reports published at the time of his birth.
Emma, 29, previously admitted she was finding it "a wild experience" being pregnant in lockdown.
She said: "That’s become such a loaded question in 2020. Long story short: I am hungry and tired. Food and sleep do not abide by the normal laws when you’re pregnant. But I’m healthy, which is the thing I’m most grateful for. To see my body change inside and out so drastically has been a wild experience. Surprising and beautiful."
And the ‘Scream Queens’ star also insisted she felt “grateful” she’s been able to stay at home and not work, because it has allowed her to “be present” with herself.
She said: "It's been really an interesting time in the world to be pregnant right now. It’s definitely caused a lot of introspection, but I think it's been amazing to really sit with myself and really turn inward in a way I never have before and be still. That's been really nice, and I feel really grateful to have gotten to do that. To not just be running from one appointment to the next or one job to the next. I’ve really had to be present with myself, and that's been - some days you wanna crawl out of your skin, but other days you feel really good and really grateful."
