Libertines frontman Pete Doherty and his wife Katia de Vidas have announced they are set to welcome a baby girl in May
Pete, 43, is said to have announced in December at a gig that he and his Puta Madres bandmate are expecting, but now the couple have confirmed they are having a baby girl, due in the spring.
Rocker Pete is already a dad to son Astile, 19, and daughter Aisling, 11, from former relationships with singer Lisa Moorish and model Lindi Hingston.
The couple, who live in France, have been in a relationship since 2012 and tied the knot in 2021.

Banbyshambles star Pete also claimed he had a fling with Amy Winehouse before her death in 2011.
He told the Mail on Sunday in 2012: "Amy and I were lovers. I loved her then and, well, I still do today.
"But towards the end, as only lovers can, she became quite mean and cruel to me. She didn't suffer fools... and believe me, she had a mean right hook."
