"Offspring star Kat Stewart has become a mother for the first time. The 38-year-old Australian actress, who is best known for playing Billie in the Channel Ten drama alongside Asher Keddie, gave birth to son Archie Nicholas in a Melbourne hospital. According to the Herald Sun, Stewart and her actor husband David Whiteley are &amp;quot;thrilled&amp;quot; with the new arrival.  A Ten spokesperson added: &amp;quot;Both Archie and Kat are doing exceptionally well.&amp;quot; In July last year, when Stewart was yet to announce her pregnancy, she said that motherhood was something she would &amp;quot;definitely want to do&amp;quot;, adding: &amp;quot;I do love children. In five years&amp;#039; time, it would be nice to have a kid or two.  &amp;quot;I have a ridiculously adorable group of nieces and nephews. Being an aunty is good, [but] the reality is that the window shuts at some point. Any woman over 35 is conscious of that.&amp;quot; She has previously revealed that she &amp;quot;loves&amp;quot; her role in Offspring, saying: &amp;quot;The show gets better and better as time goes on. It&amp;#039;s a bit left-of-centre and can be fabulously odd.  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve had a run of characters that have been outspoken and badly behaved, and I relish that.&amp;quot; Last year, it was announced that the award-winning show will return to Australian television screens for a third season this year.  &amp;gt; &amp;#039;Offspring&amp;#039; cast love &amp;quot;eccentric&amp;quot; show "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
