Licence To Go ‘Awww'!

Fiercely private Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig won’t have much luck keeping their pregnancy out of the public eye

THEY’RE not exactly known for their openness when it comes to their private lives – Kardashians they’re certainly not. So it was with great surprise that people responded to news of an impending baby Bond.

When Rachel Weisz recently opened up about expecting her first child with husband Daniel Craig eyebrows across the globe arched, considering the news came just after she celebrated her 48th birthday.

Rachel and Daniel, who recently turned 50, already have two kids between them and have hit several career goals. You’d be forgiven for thinking they’d be looking forward to kicking back at their Hamptons beach house instead of sleepless nights, nappy duty and school runs.

But the couple are thrilled.

“I’ll be showing soon,” a radiant Rachel said when she revealed her pregnancy in an interview with The New York Times. “Daniel and I are so happy. We’re going to have a little human. We can’t wait to meet him or her. It’s all such a mystery.”

Parenting isn’t a mystery to either, of course. Rachel is mom to Henry (11), her son with her ex filmmaker Darren Aronofsky, and Craig shares 26-year-old daughter Ella with actress Fiona Loudon.

It’s not clear whether their “little human” was planned, but a source close to the couple, who’ve been married for seven years, seems to think so.
