Hollywood star Ioan Gruffudd, 51, and his second wife Bianca, 32, have announced they're expecting their first child together.
The Welsh actor, who is already a dad to Ella, 15, and Elsie, 11 with his ex Alice Evans, shared the news on social media on Monday.
Posting a sweet black and white photo of the pair, Gruffudd can be seen kissing Aussie Bianca's blossoming baby bump.
In the caption, they wrote: 'Baby Gruffudd poppin' out to say hello!'

It comes more than two years after Gruffudd's divorce from ex Alice Evans, with whom he shares two daughters.
The actor accused Evans of 'child abuse' after their then 13-year-old daughter Ella filed a restraining order.
The victory over Ella and her younger sister Elsie came after a judge in Los Angeles granted Gruffudd's demand for the appointment of a child psychologist.
Gruffudd has been dating Aussie producer Bianca Wallace since 2021.
The couple were engaged in 2024.
Hollywood star Gruffudd first obtained a restraining order in 2022 against Evans.
Gruffudd blasted her for allegedly getting Ella to file her own restraining order against him – and for stopping their two daughters from going to therapy.
The actor said: 'Although there is an order for the girls to attend therapy, Alice has repeatedly either refused to bring the girls or interfered with my bringing the girls to therapy.
'Since separation, the girls have missed more therapy session than they have attended and they have had multiple therapists.
'I believe Alice's actions are child abuse and I am gravely concerned for our children.'
Evans denied abusing or harming her daughters.

He and Bianca went first public with their relationship in 2021.
The couple first announced their engagement back in January 2024.
The Fantastic Four star shared a beaming snap with Bianca on Instagram as they jointly announced their news.

The couple made it official in April this year when they secretly wed in a clifftop ceremony.
Taking to Instagram, they shared a video showing their romantic wedding ceremony.
Both captioned their updates: 'Mr & Mrs Gruffudd. Marriage now, wedding later.'

'It wasn't an easy decision': Country star Hardy axes European dates at last minute
Hardy has axed his European tour at the last minute. The country star was set to kick off the run at Copenhell festival in Denmark on Thursday (19.06.25), and was later due to play Birmingham, London, Manchester, Glasgow, Belfast and Dublin. Without giving an explanation, he stated it "wasn't an easy decision" to make. He penned on Instagram on Monday (16.06.25): "I have decided to cancel the European leg of the JIM BOB TOUR. "It wasn't an easy decision but one I had to make for my band, crew and my family. "Please know that I love you all and I will be back as soon as I can. "Refunds will automatically be issued by your point of purchase." The tour was in support of his 2024 LP Quit!!. The 34-year-old star - who first made his name as a songwriter for Florida Georgia Line - is due to continue his North American leg on July 18 at Country Thunder Wisconsin. Hardy's recent work includes contributing to Post Malone's upcoming follow-up to 2024 chart-topper F-1 Trillion. Malone told Billboard of working with collaborators including Ernest, Thomas Rhett and Hardy in Nashville: 'We just have fun. We just sit and f***ing talk and make songs. And so I'm pretty excited for the new record already.' Malone noted how he'd 'made probably 35 songs; it's just a matter of which one's rock, and which one's sock." He continued: "I sit there and listen to these songs, and I usually hate listening to my music, but listening to the band play, I get so excited.' Speaking about how he incorporates all his different styles – also including rock and pop - into one seamless set, the Circles hitmaker said: 'You put a twist on the instrumentation and the musicianship of it. We have Lillie [Mae] playing the fiddle and Cheese [Chandler Walters] playing the steel [guitar] and incorporating that into the old songs and then transitioning into the new s***… that's always been the thing about me, is it's all just f****** music.'

Elon Musk's daughter makes drag debut at anti-ICE fundraiser
Elon Musk's transgender daughter made her debut drag performance in Los Angeles last week at an immigration fundraiser. Vivian Jenna Wilson, 21, hit the stage at The Bellwether on Friday night in a black catsuit and metal corset using the name Vivllanious. The crowd went wild for Musk's eldest daughter as she strutted on the stage, proudly waving a transgender pride flag over her head. The performance was part of the benefit event 'SAVE HER! – an Environmental Drag Show', organised by acclaimed drag artist Pattie Gonia. Vivan Wilson waves a flag while performing as Vivllanious Credit: Supplied At one point during the performance, the social media personality kicked her high-heeled boot behind her head in a striking show of flexibility. Vivian later took to Instagram to thank the event organisers, saying her participation in the performance was 'a life-changing experience'. Unsurprisingly, Elon Musk was missing from the show's audience. Musk's strained relationship with his daughter has been no secret, with the businessman taking to X last year to claim that Vivian's transition was due to her being 'tricked' by the 'woke mind virus'. Vivian told Teen Vogue earlier this year that she thinks Musk is a 'pathetic man-child' who she 'didn't give a f*** about'. Other drag artists who performed at the weekend's event included Vera!, Nina Coco, Jacob Ostler, and Trudy Tective. All of the money raised at the event was donated to legal defences for immigrants impacted by ICE raids.

Sir David Beckham's mother can't stop crying after knighthood announcement
Sir David Beckham has revealed his mother couldn't stop crying over his knighthood. On Friday (13.06.25), the retired football legend was named in the King's Birthday Honours ahead of an official ceremony, and he has opened up about his mother Sandra's reaction after they enjoyed a lunch at Tony's Pie and Mash in London. He wrote on Instagram: "Lunch with Mum , haven't seen her since the news... "Mum cried when she arrived , cried during lunch and cried when I was leaving x special moment for us all. "Love you mum x @sandra_beckham49 (Dads next) (sic)" Sandra admitted she felt "emotional" having people approach her son to offer their congratulations using his new title. She commented under the post: "Love you more... was emotional people saying congratulations Sir... see tears again (sic)" David is married to former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham and has Brooklyn, 26, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and 13-year-old Harper Seven with her. The Manchester United legend - whose wife will now be known as Lady Victoria Beckham - has been given the honour for services to sport and charity. Victoria wrote on Instagram after the news: "You've always been my knight in shining armour, but now it's official. "Sir @davidbeckham!!! What an honour, I couldn't be prouder of you. Your dedication to the things that matter most — your country, your work, your passion, and most of all, your family — has never wavered. "The way you've touched so many lives over the years with kindness and humility speaks volumes about the man you are and continues to inspire us everyday. "But above all else, I'm so, so proud to call you mine. I love you so much xxxx" In 2003, he was given an OBE by the late Queen Elizabeth for services to football. The former England captain has a long history of charitable work, which Honours Committee officials will have considered before deciding to bestow him with the honour.
