Paul and Hannah announced they were expecting in April
'Hannah and baby are doing great and the whole family are looking forward to meeting the littlest Weller in the summer.'
59-year-old Paul married Hannah, 31, in 2010, after meeting in 2008, when Hannah worked on Paul's LP 22 Dreams, providing the backing vocals for the track. The mother-of-three is Paul's second wife - he was previously married to Dee C. Lee, a singer from his band the Style Council, for 11 years. The pair had two children together after tying the knot in 1987, but spilt up in 1998.
Paul then went on to have another child from a brief relationship with a make-up artist, and also has two children with Samantha Stock, his long-term partner for 13 years.
Speaking about his relationship with current wife Hannah, Paul said back in 2012 he feels it's going to last.
'I've been in love, but not like this. And it's not like it's some flash in the pan. I can feel it in my bones, it's going to last', he told The Guardian, two years into his marriage.
'We're happy and we're in love and that's it really. We were meant for each other; we were just born at different times, and what can we do about that? She could just as easily have been 42 or whatever age, you know?'
