"Russell might have bedded many of the world's most stunning women but now it's all about Laura and becoming a dad," a source said.

"They have been living as a couple for the last six months and are determined to make a go of their relationship. It feels like a new chapter in their lives and the couple are enjoying every moment, including discussing baby names," the insider said.

Laura, the younger sister of TV presenter Kirsty Gallacher, first began romancing Russell in 2006 but their relationship was short-lived and it came crashing down in 2007. They then set tongues wagging about a possible reunion when they were spotted looking cosy again in public in 2009.

Their chemistry seemingly fizzled out and they've lived separate lives, dating new people, until they rekindled their relationship last year in Rome.
