Russell Brand is a Dad!

Russell Brand is officially a dad!

He and his fiancée, Laura Gallacher, welcomed their first child together on Sunday night and Russell made the happy announcement at a stand-up show he was doing at the Nottingham Playhouse.

According to members of the audience, Russell said he needed to leave on time and go home as his girlfriend had just had a baby. That’s all he has revealed, however, as we don’t know if he’s had a boy or a girl, or the name of his baby.

Russell revealed that he was going to be a dad in an Instagram post back in July of a picture of him reading “The Expectant Dads Handbook.”

Congrats to the new parents! Stay tuned to BabyNames.com to find out what name Russell chooses for his baby. [UPDATE: He’s revealed the sex and the name!]
