Talento Megumi gave birth to her first child early on Friday, her agency announced via a fax to the media. The baby boy, born at 3,000 grams, was delivered four days later than expected but is said to be healthy.

Last July, Megumi married Dragon Ash's Kenji Furuya after learning that she was pregnant. The couple had been dating for three years and started living together in 2007.

Megumi's work has been put on hold since the marriage. It is not yet known when she plans to return.
