Now, respected Spanish daily newspaper ABC is claiming his new wife - who is 33 years his junior - is pregnant with their first child.

The publication added it is not yet known if the baby would be born in Alejandra's native Spain, or in America, where the couple spend most of their time.

While the couple are yet to officially comment on the baby reports, both Richard and Alejandra already have children from previous relationships.

Richard has 18-year-old son Homer from his marriage to second wife Carey Lowell, while Alejandra has five-year-old son Alberto from her first marriage to Govind Friedland.

The actor - who will celebrate his 69th birthday at the end of this month - was also married to supermodel Cindy Crawford from 1991 until 1995, before tying the knot with Carey in 2002.

However they split up in September 2013, with their divorce being finalised in October 2016.

The couple met at a luxury Italian hotel Alejandra had bought with her former spouse and was managing at the time.

Following their wedding in Spain back in April, the couple had a blessing in the US near Richard's New York home.

He said afterwards: "I am the happiest man in the universe, how could I not be?"

For her part, Alejandra told Hola magazine in September 2016: "Richard has been my hero in real life.

"I was a little lost, without light, and meeting him gave sense to my life.
