Bruce Willis will be a daddy again soon: confirmation has come that he and his wife of 3 years, Emma Heming, are pregnant with their first child. No word yet when Emma is due.

Word of this first got out in Life & Style magazine, which cited the usual unnamed insiders as saying that Emma was already showing, but the couple didn't want to make the announcement just yet.

As it turns out, the two happy parents-to-be have had a change of heart, because their rep has just confirmed the wonderful news for People magazine.

“I's been a while since he changed diapers, but Bruce Willis is gearing up to be a dad again! The actor and wife Emma, a designer and model, are expecting their first child together early next year, his rep confirms to People,” the magazine writes.

“The couple 'are overjoyed with this news and they look forward to welcoming this newest addition into their family,' the statement reads,” People further says.

While this is Bruce's first child with Emma, whom he married in March 2009 in a surprise, super-secret ceremony, it's not his first ever.

The actor has three daughters from his previous marriage to Demi Moore, Rumer (23), Scout (20), and Tallulah (17). Demi is now married to Ashton Kutcher.

Speaking of whom, recent reports claimed that Bruce was fuming mad at Ashton for cheating on Demi with a girl who was almost of the same age as Rumer, his step-daughter.

Apparently, his three girls were also very upset at their step-dad, whom they once dubbed “MOD” for “My Other Dad,” and didn't know whose side to take in the family scandal, as we also reported.

Reports had it that Bruce was out to give Ashton a piece of his mind when he first crossed paths with him, because he still had very strong feelings for Demi and didn't want anyone to harm her, let alone also publicly shame her like this.
