The actor, 45, revealed he and actress wife Tamsin Egerton, 35, secretly welcomed their fourth child together.
The Hollywood heartthrob, who stepped away from the spotlight after his huge ’90s and early ’00s fame, shared the happy news while making a rare red carpet appearance at the 2024 Screen Actors Guild Awards.

“I have four kids, I live in the countryside,” he told Gold Derby.

The Black Hawk Down star married Egerton back in 2021 after 10 years of dating.
She is best known for roles in St.Trinian’s and Camelot. The pair met on set of the 2010 film The Lovers.
Hartnett has said he spends “90 per cent” of his time with his family.
“Coming up to the city and doing an interview is a rarity,” he said recently.
“Typically, I work on the films that I work on, and then I go home.”
The couple lives in Hampshire, England, an hour-and-half outside of London.
Hartnett previously opened up about his joyous family life with Egerton and why he took a step back from the Hollywood spotlight to pursue life as a father and husband.
“The thing I am most proud of is that I’m a father of three and I have a good relationship with my partner and a great family life,” he told Mr Porter at the time.
“We’ve been trying to keep them occupied as best we can, but it’s a lot of work and it takes both of us all day and by the end of it all we want to do is reach for a bottle of wine and go to sleep.”
“I decided to have a life, to put that first. That was always my goal,” he added.
“I feel very strongly about friends I’ve known for a long time and my family. I wanted to make sure I wasn’t losing those relationships. Those people make me who I am. I put those concerns ahead of chasing a Hollywood dream.”

In 2023, he made a big comeback with a role in the new film Oppenheimer.
“We had a fun time making the film and then for it to be so phenomenally received and to have it be nominated by our peers for acting categories across the board … It’s phenomenal, it’s better than we could’ve imagined,” Harnett told reporters at the SAG Awards.
He also joined the cast of Oppenheimer to accept their outstanding cast in a motion picture award.
