Rowan Atkinson, best known for portraying Mr Bean and Edmund Blackadder in two classic British comedies, is having a kid, aged 62.
The comedian and actor already has two children from his previous marriage with Sunetra Sastry, son Ben, 23, and daughter Lily, 21, but this is his first child with Louise Ford, 33.
The couple are expecting the birth in the next few weeks, the Mirror reports.
Atkinson and Ford have been together since 2014, a year after his 25-year marriage ended after a 65-second court hearing. Ford, also in the entertainment business, starred in the Channel 4 show The Windsors, a show parodying the Royal Family, portraying Kate Middleton.
"Rowan and Louise are over the moon and can't wait for their new arrival. It's a very happy time for them both," a source told the Mirror.
They met while performing in the West End comedy Quartermaine's Terms, during which they hit it off.
The 62-year-old is well known all over Britain for his writing, acting, comedy and beloved characters. He made a name for himself with the brilliant Blackadder, which you can probably find on TV channels like Dave or UKTV Gold nowadays. Essential viewing for anyone who hasn't seen it.
