The comedian and political activist, who was married to Katy Perry between 2010 and 2012, is set to become a father for the first time according to reports. If rumours are to be believed, his 27-year-old girlfriend Laura Gallacher is five months pregnant and Brand is 'absolutely made up' at the news.

'Russell might have bedded many of the world's most stunning women but now it's all about Laura and becoming a dad', a 'friend' of the star told The Sun.

Brand and Gallacher - who is the younger sister of TV presenter Kirsty Gallacher - have been seeing each other on and off for quite some time but rumours of their reunion arose when they were see flying off to Rome together last year. They were also seen enjoying a boat ride on the River Thames by their home in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire.

'Most of his closest friends have children and he was desperate to start a family', The Sun source continued. 'He and Laura are thrilled to bits at the prospect of becoming parents. They have shared the happy news with close family and friends'.

Allegedly, Brand originally wanted to start a family with Katy Perry, but she thought she was too young for motherhood. He also talked about it with heiress and journalist Jemima Khan before they broke up.
