Only two months after the couple announced (in the cutest way possible) that they were engaged to be married, and the pair have revealed they second piece of happy news.
In a statement to a British newspaper, a spokesperson for the Sherlock actor said: "I am delighted to confirm that Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Hunter are expecting their first child. They are both over the moon."
Benedict has said that he is not focusing on wedding planning just yet, as he is about to start filming a new series of Sherlock.
However, sources close to the couple have reported that they are in fact planning to marry in early Spring, before their baby arrives later in the year.
Sophie is thought to already be a few months along in the pregnancy, something which seems clear from recent shots of her on the red carpet.
The Imitation Game star, 38, previously told The Telegraph that he is ‘very broody. I have been broody for the last five years because I have two godchildren.’
He added: "I would love to have the ability to juggle a career and have a young child."
We’re sure you will develop that, Benedict! Congratulations to the happy couple.
