MICHAEL Sheen made his first public appearance yesterday with his new girlfriend – who is half his age – since the news broke that they are expecting a baby.

The Welsh actor has been dating Swedish model and actress Anna Lundberg for a matter of months.

At 25 she is only five years older than Lily, Sheen’s daughter by actress Kate Beckinsale.

Sheen, who currently plays an angel in TV series Good Omens, confirmed news of the pregnancy on Twitter late on Wednesday, telling his followers: ‘My partner Anna and I are expecting a little angel of our own.’

The couple arrived at Cardiff University yesterday, where Sheen was being made an honorary fellow, with Miss Lundberg’s baby bump already visible in a navy blue floral sundress.

The pair were first linked in May when she shared a number of photos of them together on social media.

They flew to Los Angeles in June but the rising star is ‘currently living in the UK’, according to her Instagram.

Her website states that she completed a three-year theatre programme in Sweden before moving to Britain after signing up to summer courses at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art and Guildford School of Acting.

It was only in March that Sheen was thought to have split from Irish actress and comedian Aisling Bea, 35. They had struck up a romance in April 2018.

Prior to that, Sheen had been in a four-year relationsh­ip with American comedian Sarah Silverman, which ended in December 2017.

The pair decided to go their separate ways after Sheen realised he wanted to return to Britain to focus on issues in the wake of Brexit.
