After today’s sad news, let this bring the smile back to your face – Stella McCartney is pregnant with her fourth child.

Rumours have been circulating since late last week as to whether the British designer is expecting again with her husband Alasdhair Willis, but a spokesman for Stella confirmed the news to WWD today – baby McCartney number four is on its way.

Due to arrive late autumn, the newest addition to the fashionable family will be a sibling to Miller, 5, Bailey, 3, and Beckett, 2. And we expect this little one to be kitted out in nothing but his mummy’s range for babyGap, naturally.

Congratulations, Stella!
