AceShowbiz - Benedict Cumberbatch and his fiancee Sophie Hunter are expecting their first child together, according to Page Six. Sources told the site that the 38-year-old actor "is delighted and excited about becoming a dad."
One source revealed, "Sophie is a few months along, and both she and Benedict are very excited about it." The source also said that the couple would be married soon, "They are also quietly planning to marry in early spring."
Pregnancy rumors emerged after Sophie was spotted sporting what may have been a baby bump when attending the Palm Springs International Film Festival with Benedict on Saturday, January 3. She wore a printed maxidress and carried a purse in front of her belly.
At that time, Benedict was questioned about their wedding plans. "One thing at a time!" he told reporters, saying that he was busy reprising his role as Sherlock Holmes on "Sherlock".
Benedict announced his engagement to Sophie back in November with a small notice posted on the page 57 of The Times of London. The notice read, "The engagement is announced between Benedict, son of Wanda and Timothy Cumberbatch of London, and Sophie, daughter of Katherine Hunter of Edinburgh and Charles Hunter of London."
