Los Angeles - Bryan Singer is reportedly expecting his first child through a surrogate mother.

The X-Men director is said to be paying his close friend Michelle Clunie $1m to deliver his first child, which is due to be born in December.

A source told RadarOnline: "She's very pregnant, she looks like she swallowed a basketball!"

The 49-year-old star is set to welcome his first child later this year, and has even bought a house located three doors down from his abode especially for the expectant surrogate.

Bryan is thought to be over-the-moon with the news that he is set to become a father and has reportedly already been splashing the cash on plenty of items for the baby.

Aside from the hefty payment Michelle will be receiving, she seems to be over the moon about the pregnancy as well, taking to her Twitter account onThursday morning to share her excitement of becoming a mother.
