Veteran Hollywood action star Bruce Willis is to become a father again at 56, his first baby with second wife Emma, 35, according to his spokesman.

“The couple are overjoyed with this news and they look forward to welcoming this newest addition into their family,” said the publicist.

Mr Willis, who married the designer and model three years ago, already has three daughters – Rumer, 23, 20-year-old Scout, and Tallulah Belle, 17 – from his first marriage to Demi Moore, which ended in 2000.

The Die Hard star tied the knot with Emma in March 2009, in a Caribbean island ceremony attended by Ms Moore and their three daughters.
