He tweeted: ‘Very happy to let everyone know that my partner Anna and I are expecting a little angel of our own. (Just to be clear, we’re having a baby!) #nottheantichrist.’ (sic)
Michael Sheen’s representatives declined to comment.
Previously, Michael said parenting is the ‘most challenging’ job yet he revealed it is a necessary and rewarding role.
He told The Guardian in 2010, nine years ago: ‘I think being a parent is the most challenging thing you do. That’s why we’re here. It’s at the heart of what it is to be a human being.
‘It’s the ultimate experience because it questions everything about who you are. But it’s difficult.

He and Sarah felt in ‘different ways’ that they wanted to ‘get more involved’ in the political climate after Brexit and Donald Trump’s election.
‘It led to me wanting to address the issues that I thought led some people to vote the way they did about Brexit, in the area I come from and others like it,’ he said.
‘I felt a responsibility to do something, but it did mean coming back here — which was difficult for us, because we were very important to each other.
‘But we both acknowledge that each of us had to do what we needed to do.’
Sarah, 48, was the one to reveal Michael had briefly split from Aisling back in September 2018, during a chat on on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
The American funnywoman also joked that she still hooks up with British actor Michael when he’s in Los Angeles.

The actress said in an interview with InStyle magazine in 2004: ‘We were very lucky in that we didn’t have an acrimonious split.

Speaking previously about the relationship, Rachel had said that while the long-distance aspect of their romance was difficult, they did their best to manage it.
