Benedict Cumberbatch is going to be a dad again. E! News repots that the British actor is currently expecting his second child with wife Sophie Hunter. The baby is going to join big brother Christopher Carlton Cumberbatch, whom the couple welcomed last year.
Cumberbatch reportedly announced the baby news when he and Hunter stepped out together on Thursday night, October 20 to attend the world premiere of his new flick "Doctor Strange" at the TCL Chinese Theatres in California.
Looking dapper in a black suit and tie, he was all smiles while posing alongside his wife who stunned in all-black. She hid her baby bump in the loose fitting strapless dress.
Cumberbatch and Hunter got engaged in late 2014 before announcing her first pregnancy in January 2015. The duo then tied the knot in a private ceremony in England on Valentine's Day that year. They welcomed baby Christopher later in June.
Recently, the actor opened up about being a father in an interview with Vanity Fair for its November issue. "Having a baby - it's massive," he said. "And on a very unexpected level. Suddenly I understood my parents much more profoundly than I ever had before."
He also called out obsessed fans who said that his marriage to Hunter and their child were only "a P.R. stunt." "There are people who believe that my wife is a P.R. stunt and my child is a P.R. stunt," Cumberbatch shared. "I think really it's to do with the idea that the 'Internet's boyfriend' can't actually belong to anyone else but the Internet. 'It's impossible he belongs to anyone but me.' And that's what stalking is. That's what obsessive, deluded, really scary behavior is."
UPDATE (October 22, 2016 2:13 AM GMT): A rep for Benedict Cumberbatch has confirmed Sophie Hunter's second pregnancy. "Everyone is absolutely thrilled," the rep said.
