Darya Zhukova, the girlfriend of Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich, has given birth to her first child, and the Russian billionaire's sixth, in California, Moskovsky Komsomolets reported on Saturday.
The Russian tabloid said Aaron Alexander was born on Friday, and sources close to the couple said both mother and baby were doing well.
Russian media noted the religious connotations of the name Aaron, who in the Bible was the brother and closest associate of Moses, and said Alexander had been chosen for Zhukova's father, businessman Alexander Zhukov.
Britain's Mirror newspaper reported that Abramovich was present at the birth, which took place at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, where Zhukova grew up.
Abramovich has two sons and three daughters by his second wife, Irina. The couple divorced in 2007.

Scientists have created the world's smallest 'snowman', measuring about a fifth of the width of a human hair.
Experts at the National Physical Laboratory in West London made the miniature figure which is just 0.01mm across.
However, far from the thrill of rolling balls of snow around a field to build their masterpiece, it was assembled using tools designed for manipulating nanoparticles.
The snowman is made of two tiny tin beads, normally used to calibrate electron microscope lenses, which were welded together with platinum. A focused ion beam was used to carve the snowman's eyes and smile, and to deposit a tiny blob of platinum for the nose. It was put together by Dr David Cox, a member of the Quantum Detection group at the laboratory, who also took the picture. However, Britons searching for the real thing will have to head for the northern hills of Scotland, where forecasters say there is a chance of snow falling over the weekend.
Meanwhile, the Alps have seen heavy snow falls in the past week allowing the ski season to get under way at many resorts. Andermatt in Switzerland has received nearly 40 ins (100cm) of fresh snow.
The NPL is one of Britain's leading science facilities and research centres. It is a world-leading centre of excellence in developing and applying the most accurate measurement standards.
