Edward Norton is to become a father “any day now.”
Us Weekly reports that the 43-year-old actor’s long term girlfriend Shauna Robertson is pregnant.
The Moonrise Kingdom star is looking forward to being a dad.
"Ed is really excited for fatherhood. He helped pick out a stroller for the baby!" a source told Us.
The insider added that the couple will welcome their first child together “any day now.”
The notoriously private actor has been dating Shauna for six years and they reportedly got engaged in 2011.
Shauna is a Canadian film producer who has worked on a slew of Judd Apatow movies including Knocked Up and The 40-Year-Old Virgin.
Edward previously spoke about how he was happy to wait to start a family in order to concentrate on his career.
“I'm not unhappy I haven't had kids yet, because it has let me focus on the work I've been doing,” he once told Men’s Health magazine.
“Some of my best friends have had kids, and I've watched it take hold of their lives. And because they're great people, they've rebuilt their lives around that priority joyfully.
“I look forward to being a father, but I know instinctively that when it comes, it's going to dominate, and therefore I'm hoping I'll be in a place in my life where I don't feel like I'm curtailing the things I want to pursue.”
Edward has previously been in relationships with Courtney Love and Salma Hayek.
A representative for the actor had no comment for the website regarding Shauna’s pregnancy.
