And now it's official!

There have been reports that funny man Russell Brand was going to become a Dad for the first time for months - but now we've got some concrete proof from the man himself.

Awwwww!

Huge congrats are in order.

"Right then. My Mum bought me this. Time to get ready! #trewlit #bookstagram #parenting," Brand write on Instagram, alongside a hilarious photo of him holding up Dean Beaumont's The Expectant Dad's Handbook, with a pretty determined look on his face.

The Sun has reported that Laura is reportedly in her trimester and sources close to the pair have added that the notoriously private couple "are thrilled to bits at the prospect of becoming parents."

Russell, 41, has made no secret of the fact that he wants children. Speaking after his divorce from Katy Perry in 2012, he told Howard Stern that, "I was really into the idea of marriage and having children."

He also commented on his longing for kids again in 2014, after he spilt from Jemima Khan.

He told the Belfast Telegraph: "I don't know if I want to settle down though, but I certainly would like loads of children."

Seems like Russell has finally got his wish.
