Christian Bale & Sibi, his wife of 14 years, are expecting their second child
Christian Bale’s wife Sibi was pregnant the whole way through the awards season! And we didn’t even Bump Watch her! My mind has been boggled. First of all… did you know Sibi’s real name is Sandra? I never knew that. Everyone always refers to her as Sibi, she’s always labeled as Sibi in photos and articles, so I guess I’ve never questioned it. Anyway, Sibi and Christian are expecting their second child. They are already parents to nine-year-old daughter Emmeline Bale. I also didn’t know their daughter’s name! Emmeline is barely photographed (even before Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard’s No Kids Pledge) but Christian does talk about her in interviews and such. You can tell he loves his daughter very much and he seems very involved. So much so that I’ve always kind of wondered why Christian and Sibi didn’t have more kids. Not that it’s any of my business, of course, but I’m glad to see that they’re going for another one:
There’s another baby on the way for Christian Bale and wife Sandra “Sibi” Bale. The couple are expecting their second child, PEOPLE has confirmed.
The notoriously private couple, who have been married for 14 years, are already parents to a daughter, who will turn 9 this month.
Bale’s rep had no comment.
“It’s all about my girls, my wife and my daughter. I carry a picture of them with me all the time,” Bale, 40, said about his two girls in 2009.
Sibi, 43, debuted her baby belly last Sunday on the red carpet at the Academy Awards, where her husband was nominated for Best Actor for American Hustle, which also scored nine other nominations including Best Picture.
Gotta love when People Magazine manages to get a hard confirmation but then they add “Bale’s rep had no comment.” That’s a pretty typical Hollywood move. But I do have to give Christian some credit – he managed to go through the entire awards season in the most low-key way, showing up to every event with his wife but barely doing any press. I even talked about it a few weeks before the Oscars – I was surprised that Bale didn’t seem to be waging any kind of campaign at all, which was particularly weird because he was literally the best part of American Hustle. I mean, if Matthew McConaughey’s wife had been pregnant during the awards season, we would have had interview after interview about it and Matthew would have been working “MAN MAKES BABY, my wife is pregnant! Alright alright alright” into every speech.
Anyway, congrats to Sibi and Christian!
