George, 55, recently spoke publicly for their first time about the pregnancy and revealed he is 'really excited' about beginning his parenthood adventure with Amal, 39.
He said: 'We are really happy and really excited. It's going to be an adventure. We've sort of embraced it all with arms wide open.'
