Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Mara Lane CONFIRM that they’re expecting their first child

Jonathan Rhys Meyers and his partner Mara Lane have finally confirmed that they are set to welcome their first child.

The brunette beauty was rumoured to be pregnant back in September, and now the couple have finally revealed their happy news.

Taking to Instagram, Mara posted a number of pictures showing off a rather large baby bump, which means the pair could be expecting their first baby sooner rather than later.

“#IncomingPackage best present. #ThankYouLord #SantaBelly,” Mara captioned one of the pictures of her comparing bellys with Santa Claus.

#IncomingPackage best present. #ThankYouLord ????? #SantaBelly ??

Other pictures showed Mara in her favourite maternity dresses, one which she picked up for just three euro in a charity shop in Ireland.

Mara admitted that she couldn’t wait to meet her “Angel alien baby” that’s “about to rock my world I already know”.

Jonathan and Mara have been engaged since 2014, however, many speculated that the pair had tied the knot earlier this year as Mara changed the name of her Instagram account, which she shares with her dog Toca, to “Mara & Toca Lane Rhys Meyers”.
