Rowan Atkinson, the Hollywood star known for his iconic role in Mr Bean movies is all set to become a father for the third time at the age of 62. According to a report published in 'The Mirror', the 'Johnny English' star is expecting a new member of his family with his partner Louise Ford in the next few weeks.

Rowan Atkinson is already a father of two, Ben, 23, and daughter Lily, 21 from his ex-wife Sunetra Sastry whom he divorced in 2015. The news of Louise Ford's pregnancy comes just a month after Atkinson's daughter decided to change her surname. In an interesting development, Lily ditched the name of her father and adopted her mother's maiden name as her surname.

Sunetra Sastry and Rowan Atkinson were once the most envied couples in Hollywood. The duo who met in the late 1980s took their relationship to the next level in 1990. It was Louise Ford's entry which destabilized the life of Sunetra and Atkinson. In 2014, Atkinson started dating Louise who plays Kate in the hit television series 'The Windsors'.

After knowing Atkinson's relationship with Louise, Sunetra filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences in 2015. Interestingly, the breakup of Atkinson and Sunetra came at a crucial time when the duo was busy building a luxury mansion in Oxfordshire worth $18.4 million.

On the acting front, Rowan Atkinson is now busy filming his upcoming movie, 'Johnny English 3'. The film will feature Atkinson reprising the role of the Mi 7 agent for the third time in his career. The film will hit the screens on October 12, 2018.
