Russell Brand welcomes first child

English comedian and actor Russell Brand became a father for the first time on Sunday. According to The Mirror, Russell, who is engaged to Laura Gallacher, broke the news during a stand-up comedy performance in the UK, but didn’t reveal if the couple was blessed with a boy or a girl. A fan told the publication, “He was conscious of the clock and made sure he was off stage by just approaching 9 pm as he ‘needed to get down the f***ing M21 as my girlfriend has just had a baby’ (sic).”
