Welsh actor Owain Yeoman is set to become a father for the first time.

The Mentalist star wed jewellery designer Gigi Yallouz last year (13) and now the couple is preparing to start a family.

A statement issued to People.com reads: "We are overjoyed to announce our pregnancy! Obviously this is big news for our French bulldog Cash, who up until now has been an only child.

"We are pretty certain the baby was made in Wales and that definitely made Owain, a proud Welshman, extremely happy!"
