Christian Bale and his wife Sibi have announced that they are expecting their second child. The couple, who got married in 2000, are already parents to their eight-year-old daughter, Emmeline.
Rumours started going around that she was expecting another child when she showed off the beginnings of a baby bump at the Oscars on the 2nd March. Sibi, whose real name is Sandra Blazic, was supporting her husband as he was nominated for Best Actor.
According to a source: "They are truly a supportive couple, he [Christian] and Sibi are thrilled." They added: "She's been travelling with him while he's been touring around for American Hustle."
In 2010, The Dark Night Rises spoke about fatherhood in Esquire magazine and admitted that becoming a father changed him.
Talking to the magazine, the 40-year-old said: "I find myself tearing up at the most ridiculous things now. Sitting next to my daughter while she's watching a movie, me and my wife look across at each other like, 'Oh my God! Are we really doing this? Yes we are!"
He added: "The last few years of my life have been spent just watching animation - for my daughter - and getting a kick out of that. I love anything that she likes. If she's getting a kick out of it, I love it."
