Keitel and Kastner celebrate birth

Veteran actor Harvey Keitel and his wife Daphna Kastner are celebrating after welcoming their first child into the world.

Kastner gave birth to a baby boy, Roman, who weighed in at 3.6 kilograms (eight pounds, two ounces) at a New York hospital early yesterday, reports website PageSix.com.

The Copland star, 65, already has an 18-year-old daughter, Stella, with ex-wife Lorraine Bracco, and a two-year-old son, Hudson, with his former lover Lisa Karmazin.

Karmazin testified in a family court that she only learnt of Keitel's romance with Kastner two weeks before she gave birth.

Keitel married Kastner in October 2001.
