Confirmed! A Cumberbaby Is On The Way For Benedict Cumberbatch And Sophie Hunter

Update: A spokesperson has confirmed that the couple are expecting, telling MailOnline: "I am delighted to confirm that Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Hunter are expecting their first child. They are both over the moon."

Having only announced their engagement two months ago, it looks as though there may be a cumber baby on the way for Benedict Cumberbatch and fiancee Sophie Hunter.

After adopting the 'hide the bump' pose at Palm Springs International Film Festival earlier this week, rumours began circulating that there was indeed a little one on the way.

According to Page Six they are both 'very excited' about it, as a source told them:  “Sophie is a few months along, and both she and Benedict are very excited about it. They are also quietly planning to marry in early spring.”

Speaking to Pop Sugar on the red carpet of wedding dates, he said: "One thing at a time. I'm playing Sherlock now - just about to start - so my main focus is going to be on that."

While it's clear that children were always in the future for him, as he told ELLE Japan: "It's a wonderful thing to get married young and become a father. I used to think that I'd get married by my mid-thirties and have children. "
