Cork-born actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers has revealed that he is expecting a baby “imminently” with his new love.

The 48-year-old actor, who traded the bright lights and busy city life of Los Angeles for rural life in Ireland a little over three years ago, is set to become a father for the second time.

The Golden Globe-winning actor recently appeared on The Late Late Show, telling Patrick Kielty about his 20-acre “little farm” in Wexford, where he has a few horses.

“It’s nice to be in the countryside,” he told Kielty.

The star of Mission Impossible III, Match Point, Bend it Like Beckham, and The Tudors, he spoke on the chat show about his belief that everything he has done in his life as an actor is in preparation for what he may do in the future.

Rhys Meyers, who shares one son, Wolf, with his ex-wife Mara Lane, whom he met in 2016, told the Sunday Independent that he is now expecting his second child with his new love, Grace.

"Myself and Grace are incredibly honest adults with a very realistic view of what the world actually is and how we can bring the best of ourselves to this world,” he told the publication.

"She is an executive at Oracle [a US tech company]. She has a master's degree and has a completely different journey to me. I'm very content now and I have an enormous amount of gratitude for everyone that's in my life.

"We are about to have a son, too... imminently. But we have no name yet."
