ONE year after tying the knot, James Blunt and his wife Sofia Wellesley are expecting their first child.

The pair, who made an appearance at last night’s Emeralds and Ivy ball in Sydney were coy about the impending pregnancy, however confirmed the happy news to The Sunday Telegraph.

When asked whether he and legal consultant Wellesley, 32, were expecting, 41-year-old Blunt said: “I try not to talk about it much on the red carpet.”

“Having children seems like an amazing thing to do,” he previously said.

“A lot of my friends and family have done it.
