Actor Benedict Cumberbatch has finally addressed the baby rumours surrounding him and fiancée Sophie Hunter, confirming that they are indeed expecting their first child together.
 
The couple first set tongues wagging when they stepped out on the red carpet at the Palm Springs International Film Festival last week, with Sophie showing off what appeared to be a baby bump.
 
The couple, who announced their engagement in November, were there to celebrate Benedict’s recent film, The Imitation Game, but Bendict’s award took a back seat when onlookers clapped eyes on the stunning Sophie.
 
Following the couple’s appearance at the event, social media went into overdrive with fans tweeting: “Oh my, is Sophie Hunter pregnant? Aaaahh, there’ll be a cumberbaby soon!!”
 
And following days of speculation, a spokesperson for the couple confirmed our suspicions today.
 
"I am delighted to confirm that Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Hunter are expecting their first child. They are both over the moon," said the spokesman in a statement.
 
What wonderful news for the couple. We're sending big congratulations to them this evening.
