The actor’s partner is expecting the pair’s first child together.

Rowan Atkinson is to become a father again as his partner Louise Ford is expecting the couple’s first child together. Louise, 33, is said to be due to welcome their first child in the next few weeks. Rowan, 62, began dating Louise back in 2014 after his separation from his wife of 25 years, Sunetra Sastry. The pair met in 2012 when working on the West End comedy Quartermaine's Terms. A source close to the couple has said that Rowan and Louise are delighted to be welcoming their first child together.

“They are over the moon and can’t wait for their new arrival,” the source told The Mirror. “It’s a very happy time for them both.”

Rowan is already dad to two children from his previous relationship – 23-year-old Bem and 21-year-old Lily.
