Steve Martin becomes a first-time father at 67

'Pink Panther' star Steve Martin has become a father for the first time at the age of 67. The comedy legend and his wife, New Yorker writer Anne Stringfield, 41, had their first child in December but managed to keep the news under wraps, reported The New York Post. "They have had a baby, and how they kept it a secret no one knows. Steve is very private. They are thrilled. They worked hard to have the baby," a source said. Martin is keeping mum on the news, even recently tweeting "Can't stand 'em" to a fan who offered to bear his children (sic). The couple married in a surprise ceremony in 2007, telling guests including Tom Hanks and Diane Keaton it was just a party. Martin will no doubt be taking a different parenting approach than his father did toward him. In his bestselling memoir Born Standing Up, the actor and award-winning banjo player revealed his father's relentlessly cruel, belittling treatment toward his shy son. Martin was previously married to LA Story co-star Victoria Tennant.
