Russell Brand recently announced that he is expecting his third child with wife Laura Gallacher.<\/p>\n
The pair have kept their romance largely out of the public eye, shunning most of the heady celebrity scene to focus on family life in the countryside.<\/p>\n
The couple, who first dated in 2015 after being introduced by mutual friends, are believed to be welcoming baby number three within the next couple months.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
But just who is Laura and how has the couple managed to balance their “simple” and quiet family life with the comedian’s controversial, high profile public image.<\/p>\n
The pair, who first dated in 2015 wed in 2017 in an intimate church ceremony near their home in Henley-on-Thames, Oxon, 10 years after they first met.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She fully loves me for what I am,\u201d Russell previously told Stylist magazine. \u201cShe\u2019s not interested in the famous person at all.\u201d<\/p>\n He also told The Wendy Williams show: \u201cWe went out with each other, we loved each other very much, but I was [in a phase where] I thought the world was an amusement park made out of orgasms.\u201d<\/p>\n Laura, who was an art student when they met, told You magazine of the early romance: \u201cI really fell in love. I\u2019d never experienced love like that before.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Laura, who is the younger sister of TV presenter Kirsty Gallacher recently said on the podcast, Made by Mammas: “I hadn’t seen Russell for years.

So, then it was about seeing if we could build a foundation to make that happen,” she previously told Grazia about when the pair rekindled their romance in 2015.<\/p>\n They now share two children, daughter, Mabel, born in 2016 and daughter, Peggy, who they welcomed two years later and are set to expand their family.<\/p>\n In June, Russell revealed that they were expecting baby number three while appearing on the podcast The Diary of a CEO during which he said about fatherhood: “It’s taught me there is a lot more important in this world than me.”<\/p>\n While they have been private when it comes to their children, the comedian also told TV show Today after the birth of his first daughter: \u201cI love being a new father. She\u2019s so beautiful and so glorious and so full of joy and love.”\u00a0<\/p>\n Russell previously said of Laura, who is an author and illustrator who has published several bestselling books: \u201cI feel sometimes like a refugee in my house with this woman, this calm, beautiful woman, who in the most beautiful way possible doesn\u2019t care about what I do.\u201d<\/p>\n He added to The Guardian: \u201cShe\u2019s not interested, in the most delightful way.\u201d<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/79\/590x\/secondary\/The-pair-pictured-in-2017-already-have-two-young-children-4962459.jpg?r=1694808498695\")
