Rachel Weisz has announced that she is expecting a baby.

The actress, 48, who is married to James Bond star Daniel Craig revealed the impending arrival to the New York Times, saying

“I’ll be showing soon. Daniel and I are so happy. We’re going to have a little human. We can’t wait to meet him or her. It’s all such a mystery.”

The couple both have children from previous relationships – Ms Weisz has an 11-year-old son with director Darren Aronofsky and Mr Craig a 25-year-old daughter with his former partner, actress Fiona Loudon – but this will be the couple’s first child together. They have been married since June 2011.

Ms Weisz’s next film The Favourite, an historical drama set in the court of Queen Anne, is currently in post-production and is set for release later this year.

Mr Craig is, of course, preparing for the twenty-fifth James Bond film which will be his fifth and reportedly final outing as the super-spy.
