Supermodel Claudia Schiffer and her husband Matthew Vaughn are expecting their third child, the couple have announced.

Schiffer is five-and-a-half months pregnant and will give birth in May. She said: "We are delighted with the news and can't wait to add to our family"

The model married film producer Vaughan in May 2002. He helped bring his friend Guy Ritchie's 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels' to the screen. He went on to direct 'Layer Cake' and 'Stardust'.  

Schiffer is one of the world’s most successful models of all time, having appeared on more than 500 magazine covers. Forbes recently estimated her net worth at £38 million.

She already has two children, Caspar, six, and five-year-old Clementine.

After meeting, Schiffer was quoted as saying: "I have the right man, I'm going to have kids right away, let's not waste time.

"We loved the first experience so much we said, 'OK, as soon as possible, let's start again.'

"I love being pregnant. You can do whatever you want. You don't feel guilty, because I used to feel guilty about having a day off. And, you know, something really strange happened to me. Before my pregnancies, I was someone who had to watch their weight."
