Rachel Weisz pregnant: Star expecting first child with Daniel Craig

Rachel Weisz has revealed she’s expecting a baby with James Bond star Daniel Craig, aged 48, saying they are thrilled to have a ‘little human’ on the way.

She told the New York Times: ‘I’ll be showing soon. 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.’

The London-born star already has an 11-year-old son called Henry with Hollywood director Darren Aronofsky, who she dated between 2001 and 2010.

Rachel started dating Daniel in December 2010 and the loved-up couple tied the knot in New York City in June 2011.

The brunette beauty previously admitted that she and Daniel – who also has a 25-year-old daughter called Ella from his marriage to actress Fiona Loudon – have made a conscious effort to keep their romance ‘private’.

Her pregnancy went unnoticed at the event, but it was clear to see that she and Daniel are very much in love. 

She was also pictured on a solo outing at the Disobedience film photocall at the Four Seasons hotel in Beverly Hills on Wednesday, wearing a loose-fitting blazer.

Rachel had previously explained that she’d never had an ambition to get married before she met Daniel.

Of their relationship, she said: ‘It’s very personal, it’s very private. I don’t think mine’s particularly exceptional apart from that we’re both in the public eye.

‘But I never thought I would get married. It was not an ambition of mine. It was the opposite.’ 

In fact, Rachel – who was engaged to Darren at one stage – revealed she didn’t even believe in the concept of romance in popular culture before the Spectre actor came into her life.

The actress also feels like she was only able to find happiness once she reached a more ‘mature moment’.

She shared: ‘I couldn’t relate to romantic comedies – marriage seems to be the whole point of them. Then it just happened, happily, at a more mature moment.’    

Between them they have a long line of hit movies and an even Oscar. 

The pair looked the epitome of love as they held hands on the red carpet for The Opportunity Network’s Night of Opportunity Gala at Cipriani Wall Street in New York.

Rachel wowed in a chic red bell-sleeve dress for the event, teamed with a quirky black cape.

The gorgeous actress added a pair of silver heels and a coordinating clutch, and styled her short locks into glossy waves.

Channelling Bond, Daniel looked typically dapper in a navy three-piece suit, complete with a snappy pocket square.

The couple were among prominent New Yorkers who gathered at Cipriani Wall Street to raise funds to help students from underserved high schools on the road to top colleges and successful careers.

Rachel recently waded into a debate over who should play the next 007 after Daniel’s departure from the long-running franchise.

Speaking to the Daily Telegraph, the actress said she doesn’t believe a woman should pick up where Daniel will leave off, but should instead ‘get their own stories’

‘Why not create your own story rather than jumping on to the shoulders and being compared to all those other male predecessors?

‘Women are really fascinating and interesting and should get their own stories,’the star continued.

Discussing the heated debate, Rachel also applauded Bond author Ian Fleming for his work on the wildly successful lothario spy, having spent years crafting the character.

She said: (Fleming) devoted an awful lot of time to writing this particular character, who is particularly male and relates in a particular way to women’.
