Christopher Reeve's daughter, Alexandra, names son after late 'Superman' actor

Christopher Reeve’s daughter, Alexandra Reeve Givens, has given birth to a baby boy and has paid homage to her late father.

Givens and her husband, Garren Givens, named their son Christopher Russel Reeve Givens after her father. She gave birth on July 13 in Washington D.C.

“He was named after his grandfathers on each side, two very important role models for Garren and Alexandra,” a rep for the Givens family told People. “The entire family is thriving during their first few weeks home.”

The Superman star’s daughter, 31, met Givens at Yale University. They tied the knot in 2008.

Alexandra works as a Senior Counsel in the United States Senate while her husband, 33, is the Director of the Presidential Innovation Fellows program for president Obama’s administration, NBC New York reports.

The Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation tweeted a photo of the newborn with a “Team Reeve in training” T-shirt.
