Cate Blanchett and her husband Andrew Upton have adopted a baby girl.

The Oscar winner's publicist has confirmed that the couple, who already have three sons, have welcomed a daughter named Vivienne into their family.

"The Upton family have adopted a baby girl. Her name is Edith Vivian Patricia Upton," the publicist told Fairfax Media on Saturday.

Blanchett's representatives earlier appeared to confirm the news to The Australian Women's Weekly publication, and the actress was spotted cradling the baby at Sydney International Airport.

Pictures show the Elizabeth star holding the little girl while chatting to an airline representative.

The couple are already parents to Dashiell, 13, Roman, 10, and Ignatius, six.
