Hugh Grant ‘becomes a father for the fourth time’

ACTOR Hugh Grant has reportedly become a father for the fourth time in just four years.

HUGH Grant has reportedly become a father for the fourth time.

The Sun reported his lover, Swedish TV producer Anna Eberstein, 35, gave birth to a baby girl last week.

The actor, 55, already has a three-year-old son with Anna, as revealed last year.

A Swedish newspaper said sources close to the couple confirmed they had their daughter on Wednesday.

The Sun reported they were expecting again after Hugh spoke to friends about the arrival and Anna was seen walking with a baby bump in Chelsea, West London, in October.

They bought a seaside home in a remote fishing village in country last month.

Both of their names appeared on a public purchase letter for the £600,000 ($1.24 million) open-plan house.

But the Four Weddings star is not expected to tie the knot soon after Anna commented “good read” and posted a link on Twitter to an article titled “Five reasons marriage doesn’t work anymore.”

A source said: “He’s been telling everyone for weeks that he’s having a baby girl and I think he’s very excited. Hugh loves being a father and is getting used to it now.

“I think he enjoys it but still gets to keep a lot of time for himself. The way he’s going on I wouldn’t be surprised if he had more kids.”

Hugh’s recent tangled love life means he will now see his four children through two mothers.

Chinese-born Tinglan Hong, below, gave birth to his first child, Tabitha, in September 2011. A son, Felix Chang, followed in December 2012.

He also fathered a son — John Mungo Grant — in September 2012 with Anna.

Both women were pregnant at the same time but it was kept a secret for 12 months. They all live near Hugh’s Fulham townhouse.

A spokesman for Hugh last night declined to comment.
