Pete Doherty and wife Katia are expecting their first child together

Libertines frontman Pete Doherty and his wife Katia de Vidas have announced they are set to welcome a baby girl in May

Pete, 43, is said to have announced in December at a gig that he and his Puta Madres bandmate are expecting, but now the couple have confirmed they are having a baby girl, due in the spring.

Rocker Pete is already a dad to son Astile, 19, and daughter Aisling, 11, from former relationships with singer Lisa Moorish and model Lindi Hingston.

The couple, who live in France, have been in a relationship since 2012 and tied the knot in 2021.

In an interview with the French publication Society, Pete and Katia said they're forming a 'solid and protective clan' and will become a unit of three.

Pete and Katia, who performs in the former Babyshambles star's band, married at a French retreat in September 2021, two days after confirming their engagement.

The pair exchanged vows at the Domaine Saint Clair hotel in the French city of Etretat, which the pair have called home for the last three years.

Pete and Katia announced they had tied the knot as they posted a black and white snap of their big day on Instagram, simply captioned with their wedding date: "30.09.21," and a heart emoji.

Pete's Libertine's bandmate Gary Powell also shared a photo as the pair shared a kiss and wrote: "So happy for peter and Katia!"

In 2021, Pete also revealed he had been off of heroin for two and a half years.

He told BBC Scotland's The Seven programme: "I’m in recovery, I suppose.

"I’m two-and-a-half years clean of heroin, which is a big deal for me. And yeah, I’m ticking along. I’m writing music, still writing music, yeah."

Pete once famously dated supermodel Kate Moss, after meeting at her 31st birthday bash in 2005.

The Libertines singer announced he's "really found love" soon after the relationship blossomed but their romance was turbulent.

The birth of Pete's daughter Aisling was announced a year after she was born.

Banbyshambles star Pete also claimed he had a fling with Amy Winehouse before her death in 2011.

He told the Mail on Sunday in 2012: "Amy and I were lovers. I loved her then and, well, I still do today.

"But towards the end, as only lovers can, she became quite mean and cruel to me. She didn't suffer fools... and believe me, she had a mean right hook."
