Prince Carl Philip of Sweden and his wife, Princess Sofia, are expecting their first child!

The pair wrote that their little bundle of joy is expected to arrive in April 2016. "We are so happy and excited to announce that we are expecting our first child," they wrote in a statement. "We are very much looking forward to it." The palace also revealed on Facebook that the two have not changed their public appearance schedules this Fall. Congratulations to the happy couple!

The Swedish palace has confirmed that dashing Prince Carl Philip is indeed entwined with nude python model Sofia Hellqvist. The two have been dating since January, and the Prince even introduced the knockout brunette to his parents, King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia, earlier this month. Nina Eldh, a spokesperson for the royal family, spilled the beans on the royal romance in the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet, saying she found it "regrettable there are people who want to take advantage of the relationship [Sofia Hellqvist] has with the prince." Until last year, the Prince was engaged in a 10-year relationship with Emma Pernald, who works in public relations. Miss Hellqvist, in contrast, is famous in Sweden for appearing on the rather randy reality-tv show Paradise Hotel, kissing Jenna Jameson, and posing in Slitz, a Swedish men's magazine. Persistent googling reveals that Hellqvist seems to have made a humanitarian trip to Africa last...
