Rowan Atkinson, the star of childhood classic Mr Bean, is set to become a dad for the third time at the age of 62.

 

According to The Mirror, the actor is set to welcome his third child with his partner Louise Ford.

 

33-year-old Louise has been spotted with a blooming baby bump. It is believed that the pair are thrilled to be expecting a baby together.

 

It is understood that their baby is due early in the new year.

 

A source spoke to The Mirror about the news, “Rowan and Louise are over the moon and can’t wait for their new arrival.”

 

The source said the pair are at a very happy time in their life.

 

 

The actors met when they were working in West End comedy Quaterain’s Terms in 2012. They became a couple in 2014 when Rowan’s marriage to Sunetra Sastry ended after 25 years.

 

Sunetra filed for divorce from comedian due to irreconcilable differences.

 

Rowan and Sunetra shared two grown-children together- 23-year-old Ben and 21-year-old Lily.

 

It is believed that the pair were set to build a £19 million home together before they split up.

 

Rowan isn’t the only celebrity dad to welcome a baby at a later stage in life.

 

 

Last week, Beetlejuice star Alec Baldwin revealed that he was set to welcome another baby with wife Hilaria Baldwin in the new year.

 

At the age of 56, George Clooney welcomed twins with his wife Amal Alamuddin.

 

Jurassic Park star Jeff Goldblum became a dad for the first time at the age of 63.

 

A study was released this summer which shared some surprising information about the average age of dads today. According to the study, dads in America are slightly older by approximately three and a half years.

 

 The experts found that the number of new dads who were over 40 rose from four percent to eight percent.

 

 They also found that the number of new dads who were over 50 shot up from less than one percent to one in every 100.

 

The researchers believed that one of the main reasons people are having children at an older age is because of education.
