The comic’s girlfriend, Laura Gallacher, 27, is reportedly 5 months pregnant with their first child and the happy couple are said to be over the moon.

According to The Sun, Russell, 41, is looking forward to putting his lothario lifestyle behind him and focussing on fatherhood.

A friend said: “Russell might have bedded many of the world’s most stunning women but now it’s all about Laura and becoming a dad.

“They have been living as a couple for the last six months and are determined to make a go of their relationship.

“It feels like a new chapter in their lives and the couple are enjoying every moment, including discussing baby names.

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

The pair have enjoyed an on-off relationship for years after first meeting in 2007.

In between, Russell also dated Jemima Khan and was married to Katy Perry from 2010 to 2012.
