Eddie Redmayne and his wife are expecting their first child

Los Angeles - Eddie Redmayne is expecting his first child.

The Danish Girl actor and his wife Hannah Bagshawe - who tied the knot last year - have reportedly told their friends and family that they're to become parents.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "Eddie and Hannah are delighted and extremely excited.

"They don't want to find out the sex of the baby but are happy to tell close friends and family they're expecting.

"It's been a year to remember for Eddie after getting married, winning an Oscar and now becoming a dad."

The 33-year-old star - who won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his portrayal of Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything - was spotted carrying his wife's luggage at Los Angeles International Airport as they jetted back to the UK for Christmas on Tuesday.

Their baby is reportedly due next June meaning Hannah, 33, will have a visible bump if she joins her husband on the Oscars red carpet in February.

The couple's exciting news comes after they were spotted house hunting in London earlier this year after moving in with Eddie's parents shortly after they got married.

A source said at the time: "I think it shows they want to start a family soon."
