Duncan Jones has revealed that he’s going to be a dad.

But he’s also revealed the poignant way in which he and his wife Rodene Ronquillo told his late father, the legendary David Bowie, that he was going to be a grandfather.

Taking to Twitter, the director posted a picture of a card he’d made for his dad, featuring a baby in the womb, and a speech bubble saying ‘I’m waiting’.

“1 month since dad died today,” wrote Jones.

“Made this card for him at Christmas. Due in June. Circle of life. Love you, granddad.”

It would have been Bowie’s first grandchild.

Bowie had two children, Jones from his 10-year marriage to former actress and model Angie Bowie, and 15-year-old Alexandria Zahra Jones, his daughter with second wife, Iman.

It was revealed recently that Bowie left a fortune of $100 million following his death from cancer last month.

Bowie’s wife Iman will receive half of the estate, while Jones, his half-sister, Bowie’s assistant and his former nanny will share the rest.

Jones is currently working on ‘Warcraft’, the fantasy movie due out later this year.
