Gerwig, 39, quietly gave birth earlier this year after wrapping on her upcoming Barbie movie, but likely still busy in the post-production process as its director and co-writer.
The Oscar nominee, who is also an actress and writer, announced her first child,son Harold, with film writer and director partner Baumbach, 53, in 2019.
In an interview published on Wednesday, the Little Women director revealed that she has now had her second son and showed off a picture of the newborn.
‘He’s a little Schmoo. I don’t know if you can tell energy from the picture, but that’s very much his energy. He’s a wise little baby,’ she told Elle UK during their chat.
Talking about sleepless nights as a parent, when she’s already pretty busy considering, y’know, Barbie, Gerwig added: ‘The little guy is sleeping through the night. But I’m still doing that thing where I wake up, every hour to 90 minutes, and just hover.
‘You just keep wanting to look at that baby. So I’m slightly in a twilight state.’
Her son’s name has not been shared publicly yet.
The auteur also mused on approaching her 40th birthday, joking that she was ‘properly middle aged now’ but that ‘all parts of life feel extremely activated’.
Having watched on in jaw-dropped awe at the mammoth Barbie press tour, we can’t say we’re surprised to hear that.
Gerwig initially announced on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in December that she was pregnant, debuting her blossoming bump.
After meeting on the set of 2010 comedy-drama Greenberg, Gerwig and Baumbach have continued to collaborate together by co-writing on Frances Ha, Mistress America and, most recently, Barbie.
The hotly anticipated film, coming to UK cinemas on Friday, stars actress and producer Margot Robbie as the pink-loving title character alongside a movie-stealing Ryan Gosling as Ken.
Gerwig is also known for her directorial debut on 2017’s coming-of-age drama Lady Bird, starring Saoirse Ronan, for which she earned two Academy Award nominations for best director and best original screenplay.
Actress Jennifer Jason Leigh and Baumbach already share a 13-year-old son, Rohmer.
Barbie releases in UK cinemas on Friday, July 21.
