'No more sleep for another 2 years!' Howard Donald reveals he's expecting his fourth child
Happy news for the couple!
Take That star Howard Donald is soon to become a dad for the fourth time, after revealing the happy news on Twitter.
He and his wife, Katie Halil, are expecting their second baby together in February.
Howard broke the news first to his Twitter followers, writing 'Guess what? Me and katie are happy to announce we will have our 2nd child in Feb. Yay! No more sleep for another 2 years!'
The couple welcomed their first child together in January, who they named Bowie after the death of the late pop idol, David Bowie.
Take That are due to celebrate 25 years of their formation next year, and it's been revealed that Robbie Williams will be re-joining the popular group.
Howard married Katie, an illustrator, in January 2015, in a private ceremony in front of family and friends.
This will be Howard's second child with Katie, and his fourth child overall. He has two other daughters, Grace, aged 17, and Lola, aged 11. Both girls are rarely photographed.
