Zoe captioned the image: "Marco and I are elated to share the news of the the birth of our son Zen.

"We couldn’t feel more blessed with the new addition to our family. #threeboys... oh boy!"

The 38-year-old secretly married Italian artist Marco in June 2013 shortly after her relationship with Hollywood star Bradley Cooper came to an end.

The couple welcomed their twins Cy and Bowie in 2014 and have been careful to keep their tots out of the limelight.

Zoe previously explained why she refuses to post pictures of her children's faces on her social media account stating that she wants them to make that decision for themselves when they're older.
She said: "It has to do with respecting who they are. They’re too young to tell me how they would feel. They don’t know if they’re comfortable with that. It’s too violating.
"I can share them to the point that my husband and I are comfortable. I’ve never felt the impulse to show their faces. The trolling online is pretty disgraceful. I’m giving them a chance to have their own life."

The actress also explained why she believes it would be "unforgivable" if she left her children behind when she travelled for work.

The stunning star admitted she tries her best to bring her two-year-old twins Cy and Bowie with her when they are working away.
She said: "I’ve always believed in the power of having people around you who support you and make you better. We shift tasks around so Marco and I can have time together. Our [life coach] is teaching us to find a way to live a high quality life so we can afford to be rested.
"It’s very stressful. But it would be more taxing on my heart if I left them behind. My husband can’t do it either. It’s unforgivable. Once they start school, that takes precedence. But for now, where I go, they go."
