Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Hunter have baby boy – BBC News
Oh this one is just full of fun!
“Actor Benedict Cumberbatch and his wife Sophie Hunter have become parents to a baby boy.
A spokesman for the couple, who married earlier this year, said they were “delighted to announce the arrival of their beautiful son”.
It comes after Cumberbatch, 38, was named a CBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List for services to the performing arts and charity.
He was among recipients to be leaked ahead of the official announcement.
The Sherlock star and his theatre director wife met when they appeared together in the 2009 film Burlesque Fairytales.
They have kept their relationship away from the glare of the media and were rarely seen photographed together before their engagement, which was announced with a notice in the Times newspaper.
The couple married in a private ceremony with family and close friends on the Isle of Wight on Valentine’s Day this year.

- BC is much Heteronormative (check: married a woman on Valentine’s Day)
“…while we wait for a financial settlement and an end date to be agreed upon.”
Old news is old. Everyone knows ShamBub hatched two weeks ago, at least. First the CBE gaffe and now this? Article was dated 06/08, why? Respect their “privacy”? Respect your own, dumbasses. Keira only issued a statement after she was spotted with a pram, none of this baity BS. Also why do we now have rumors going around of SH and BC living at different residences and of BC partying up like there’s no tomorrow when he’s supposedly got a newbub in the house?
