The parents of Laura Gallacher, who’s carrying Russell Brand’s first child, are said to be ‘over the moon’ about the pregnancy.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, golf legend Bernard and his wife Lesley said: "Of course it’s positive and we are very happy, but I’d rather not say anything about it now."

It was reported over the weekend that the 27-year-old was five-months-pregnant with a source telling a national newspaper that they’ve been living together for six months.

The source added that despite the comedian’s reputation as a Lothario, he’s very much ready to settle down:

“Russell is absolutely made up. Most of his closest friends have children and he was desperate to start a family.

"He and Laura are thrilled to bits at the prospect of becoming parents. They have shared the happy news with close family and friends.”

It’s believed the couple have dated a number of times before in the past.

The 40-year-old famously married singer Katy Perry in India in 2010 but they separated a year later and their divorce was finalised in 2012.
