The proud father, who is Britain’s highest-paid male model, has been dating top barrister Stephanie for two years.
He confirmed the happy news back in June when he spoke about impending parenthood for the first time, joking: ‘I think we’re going to need a bigger car.’

Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, David said: ‘We’re expecting our first in November. We’re both thrilled. Absolutely delighted.
‘It’s our first. It’s all very new to us. We’re taking every day and week as it comes. It should be fun. We don’t know I it’s a boy or a girl and we’re not planning to find out.’
The couple will raise their baby girl at Essex-born David’s home in Fulham, south-west London.
The model, reported to be worth £12 million, has previously said he dreams of having a big family one day.
He said: ‘My sister has five children. So I have five nephews and nieces. We have great fun together bouncing around on the trampoline when I go to visit them. Dora too. They all want to play. I’ve seen them growing up. It’s a great family.’

Asked whether he would look to beat his sister’s achievement, he said: ‘I’m definitely not going to try and beat that record. Stephanie can have five. I’ll have five cars.’
David also recently admitted that he may have to slow down his schedule a bit as he embraces new fatherhood.
‘I’ll slow down a little bit. A November birth means there’s a break in the run up to Christmas,’ he explained.
David’s most high-profile romance has been with former The Saturdays singer turned radio presenter, Mollie King, 31.
The couple dated for 10 months back in 2011, before reconciling once again in 2015.

David and Mollie parted ways in early 2016, shortly before the model started his relationship with talented criminal lawyer Stephanie.
The hunk also dated model and nutritionist Sarah Ann Macklin, 29, for a year from 2012 to 2013.
David shot to fame back in 2001 when his then-housemate entered him into a modelling competition on ITV’s This Morning without his knowledge.
He subsequently won the competition and was awarded a contract with Select Models.
The new father has gone on to become one of Britain’s most successful and highly-paid models, with an estimated £12 million fortune.
