Supermodel Claudia Schiffer gives birth

Claudia Schiffer has become a mother for the third time.

The German supermodel - who already has seven-year-old son Caspar and five-year-old daughter Clementine with husband Matthew Vaughn - gave birth to a little girl on Friday at London's Portland Hospital.

A statement from the couple said: "Claudia Schiffer and Matthew Vaughn are proud to announce the birth of their baby daughter who was born on Friday May 14 in the early afternoon."

The baby's name is yet to be announced.

During her pregnancy, the 39-year-old beauty revealed she had been craving beer but was sticking to the safe non-alcoholic version.

She said: "I have cravings like any other pregnant woman, but I like to drink beer. Non-alcoholic beer!"

Claudia - who married Matthew in May 2002 - has previously spoken about how motherhood made her reassess her attitude to work.

She said: "I used to work every single day and travel round the world. I worked weekends, I never took one second off. When I met my husband I said, 'You know what, this is important. I'm not going to work weekends any more.' And when I had kids, I became even more careful. Modelling work is fine because you can do one day here, two days there, you're never long gone."
