We are so happy that we are going to have a little human RACHEL WEISZ ON BEING A MUM FOR SECOND TIME

ACTRESS Rachel Weisz has announced she is having a “little human” with her 007 husband Daniel Craig.

The 48-year-old star said they are both thrilled to be expecting their first child together, She added: “I’ll be showing soon. Daniel and I are so happy. We’re going to have a little human. “We can’t wait to meet him or her. “It’s all such a mystery.” Rachel, who rarely talks to the media about her personal life, added: “I’m very happy being married – very, very happy.” She already has an 11-year-old son called Henry with director Darren Aronofsky, her partner from 2001 to 2010. Daniel, 50, has 25-year-old daughter Ella from his 1992-94 marriage to Fiona Loudon. He and Rachel wed in New York City in June 2011, after they started dating in December 2010. The couple have made a conscious effort to keep their romance private. But Rachel told the New York Times that she’d never had an ambition to get married before she met Daniel. “It’s very personal, very private,” she said. “I don’t think mine’s particular­ly exceptiona­l apart from we’re both in the public eye. “But I never thought I would get married. It was not an ambition of mine. It was the opposite.” Rachel, who was engaged to Darren at one stage, said she didn’t even believe in the concept of romance before Daniel came into her life. “I couldn’t relate to romantic comedies,” she said. “Marriage seems to be the whole point of them. Then it just happened, happily, at a more mature moment.” She said in 2012 that she would “never say never” to adding to her family but that she was happy with life as it was. The pair fell in love after filming 2011 horror movie Dream House together. Craig – who has played Bond since 2006 in Casino Royale, Skyfall, Quantum of Solace and Spectre – said in August he would be reprising his role as 007 for one last movie. Speaking on US TV, he said: “We’ve been discussing it, we’ve just been trying to figure things out. I needed a break. “I want to go out on a high note, I can’t wait.”
