It’s elementary, my dear Watson…or in the case of
Benedict Cumberbatch, history’s hottest Sherlock, it may be literally elementary, as in elementary school, where the Brit may soon be taking his CHILD. That’s right folks: Cumberbatch and his fiancée are reportedly expecting a baby! This news of a possible #cumberbaby comes on the heels of a whirlwind year in the Internet’s number one crush’s life, both personally and professionally. Cumberbatch only announced his engagement to Sophie Hunter (35, a successful thespian in her own right) a few months ago, but reports are suggesting that she is already a few months along. Fuelling these rumours is Sophie’s recent red-carpet appearance in a distinctly flowy maxi, and she didn’t help her case by also carrying a bag very strategically held around her mid-section.
