It recently became public knowledge that Russell Brand will be a father soon as his girlfriend, Laura Gallacher, is over five months pregnant. Now the 41-year-old comedian and actor is hoping that yoga will help him form a bond with the child.
A friend of Russell’s told Daily Star: “Russell wants to get close with the baby and has started these daily yoga routines. He takes it really seriously and honestly believes it will help to form a relationship with the child.”
The source also revealed that Brand hopes to deliver the baby himself. “As a couple they are very close and Russell has even told pals he’d like to deliver the baby.”
The couple prefers to keep their relationship low-key, unlike his previous relationships and marriage to Katy Perry. Many believe Brand has changed his ways and is very committed to Gallacher. The 27-year-old beauty might not be a celebrity, but she is the sister of a UK television presenter, Kirsty Gallacher.
Brand also moved from his London home to a quieter, country mansion on Henley-On-Thames, Oxfordshire, England.
Another insider said, “Russell is absolutely made up [about the prospect of becoming to be a dad]. Most of his closest friends have children and he was desperate to start a family. “It didn’t work out with Katy, who felt she was too young for kids – and there were conversations with Jemima.”
The actor and Jemima called it quits in 2014. Meanwhile, he remained married to Perry between 2010 and 2012.
