Tom Hollander has just signed up to play the real-life role of a new dad in the near future as his pregnant girlfriend revealed her bump while out in Notting Hill.
The 55-year-old White Lotus star and his interior designer partner, 39, are expecting their first child together and are reported to be due in a matter of weeks.
Formerly engaged, the couple rekindled their broken-off romance during lockdown having decided to part ways back in 2010.
News of their impending arrival was confirmed after Fran’s belly was spotted while the duo enjoyed a sit-down at a café near the actor’s home in West London.
The creative wore a black and white plaid checkered shirt that flew open in the wind to reveal her bump that struggled against the waistband of her black sports leggings.
She added to her comfortable ensemble with some white plimsolls and tied her raven hair back from her makeup-free face in a messy bun.
Sitting on a white table outside the café, the couple appeared in good spirits and Tom consoled his partners as he was snapped with his hands gripping her hunched shoulders.
He had on a black brimless hat, a khaki-coloured logo T-shirt and some navy blue athletic shorts for their casual outing.
According to The Mail On Sunday, an onlooker said the actor arrived to meet his pregnant girlfriend on a bicycle and that ‘they looked very much like the happy couple. Tom was seen putting his arms around Fran quite a lot.’
Despite splitting almost a decade prior, Tom and Fran sparked rumours they had rekindled their romance in 2021 after they were seen having dinner at Scott’s restaurant in Mayfair.
As reported by the MailOnline, friends of the pair had previously expressed their desire for The Night Manager actor to get down on one knee once more and propose – however there are no signs a wedding is on the cards any time soon.
The publication also suggested Fran moved into her re-kindled flames’ £2million flat in central London during the pandemic and ‘never left’ according to her friends.
Metro.co.uk contacted Tom’s reps for comment.
