It seems as if congratulations are in order for Russell Brand and Laura Gallacher…
Laura, 27, is reportedly 5 months pregnant with the comedian’s first child and the happy couple are said to be over the moon.
The news was revealed in The Sun, where a close friend of the couple (albeit a loose lipped one!) happily spilled the beans.
They said: "Russell might have bedded many of the world’s most stunning women but now it’s all about Laura and becoming a dad.
“They have been living as a couple for the last six months and are determined to make a go of their relationship.
“It feels like a new chapter in their lives and the couple are enjoying every moment, including discussing baby names.”
The source continued to explain that Russell is over the moon at the prospect of becoming a dad, as he has always been ‘desperate to start a family’.
They said: “Russell is absolutely made up. Most of his closest friends have children and he was desperate to start a family.
“He and Laura are thrilled to bits at the prospect of becoming parents. They have shared the happy news with close family and friends.”
The pair have enjoyed an on-off relationship for years after first meeting in 2007.
Russell was previously married to Katy Perry, whom he later split from after she revealed that she wasn’t ready to have kids.
The Firework songstress told Marie Claire in 2013: “I’m definitely not there yet, and I can’t plan that far in advance. When I decide to have a family, I’ll just want to be Mom for a little bit.
“He really wanted me to have children, and I knew I wasn’t ready — I think it was a way of control. I think it was part of, if I have a kid, then I would have to sacrifice — I’d have to be home more.
“I really wanted to, but I knew I wasn’t ready for it. It wasn’t like, ‘Hey, let’s have a kid because we’re in love'.”
It was a topic which was touched upon by Russell’s pal in The Sun, who added: "It didn’t work out with Katy, who felt she was too young for kids — and there were conversations with Jemima [Khan].
“But Russell is blissfully happy with Laura.”
We guess we’ll have to wait and see if the comedian decides to confirm the happy news or not.
Either way, congrats to Russell and Laura!
