Russell is thought to be ‘absolutely made up’ about becoming a father, with Laura said to be around five months pregnant.

The couple have shared an on/off relationship over the years, with their first shot at romance ending in 2007 before they reunited in 2009.

A friend of Russell told The Sun: “Russell might have bedded many of the world’s most stunning women but now it’s all about Laura and becoming a dad. They have been living as a couple for the last six months and are determined to make a go of their relationship.

“It feels like a new chapter in their lives and the couple are enjoying every moment, including discussing baby names.

“Russell is absolutely made up. Most of his closest friends have children and he was desperate to start a family. He and Laura are thrilled to bits at the prospect of becoming parents. They have shared the happy news with close family and friends.”

The friend added that ‘Russell is blissfully happy with Laura’.

Representatives for Russell have been contacted for comment.
