Avri is the couple's second child together, sharing their home with her 2-year-old brother, Exton.
The 49-year-old actor has been married to the 40-year-old producer for nine years. According to Daily Mail U.K., they were last seen together in an event during the red carpet at the 2014 BAFTA Los Angeles Jaguar Britannia Awards.
Speaking during the acceptance speech for the Stanley Kubrick Britannia Award for Excellence in Film, the actor shared that, "the second pregnancy has been extraordinarily tough for me."
"Self-prescribed mandatory bed rest was of some benefit. At least my milk is finally coming in," he added. "It's just the uncertainty of how nowadays you have all these things where you think you have much more of an understanding of what you're going to get, and then this little soul lets herself be known to you, and it's just like: You don't know anything. It's great!"
Downey has a 21-year-old son from his previous marriage to actress Deborah Falconer.
