FeedsThe Doctor Foster star has confirmed the happy news after missing the Broadcasting Press Guild Awards on Friday
In a statement to Mirror Celebs, her rep confirmed the announcement, and added: "Suranne and Laurence were delighted to welcome their son into the world last week."
According to The Sun, Suranne revealed the news in a pre-recorded video during the Broadcasting Press Guild Awards on Friday night.
Accepting the best actress prize for her role in the BBC1 drama, she said: "Sorry I can't be there but I have a good excuse."
In January at the National Television Awards, the actress had announced she was expecting a baby as she proudly cradled her growing bump.
Wearing an asymmetrical black gown, the brunette mum-to-be pointed to her stomach and said: "Yeah I'm pregnant!"
And her night then got even better as she won the Best Drama Performance award for her lead role of Doctor Gemma Foster.
On her pregnancy, Suranne said: “We have been married nearly a year and a half now and what a wonderful way to kind of move our marriage on. We’re dying to celebrate the new arrival.”
And the BBC series Doctor Foster also picked up the New Drama prize, although her baby means fans will have to wait a while for the next series.
Overjoyed Suranne said: “Thank you for voting for us, we start filming the new series in September so we look forward to you seeing that, have a great night.”
Her co-star Bertie Carvel said: “This is amazing, everyone behind me and the amazingly talented cast and crew of Doctor Foster all had one thing in common, that we knew Mike Barlett had written and amazing drama. The one thing we didn’t know is if other people would agree.”
Suranne, 37, married in August last year to Laurence Akers after a whirlwind romance.
Suranne first shot to fame in Coronation Street but it was last year’s Doctor Foster that brought her back into the spotlight.
The drama series told the story of Suranne’s character Gemma as she discovered her husband Simon, played by Bertie Carvel, was cheating on
her with a young woman called Kate.
her with a young woman called Kate.
The series was recently commissioned for a second series, and Suranne said that most of the original cast are returning to our screens.
She told the TV Times: "I can't say much, only that most of the original cast are returning. It's not going to be a whole new ball game, it's a continuation of Gemma and Simon's story, but it's a different stage in their life.
“It was so successful, I just wondered what the hook would be to keep people coming back to this relationship.Then I went out for dinner with Mike and the team and they told me what they had planned.
"I thought it sounded great, and actually like something we haven't explored in a couple before."
