Gary Sweet, 57,  has announced that he and his partner of nine years, Nadia Dyall, are expecting a child. Soon.

Gary, who is currently starring in successful Aussie drama House Husbands, has two children to two of his three  ex-wives. That’s confusing so we’ll spell it out for you.

Despite his practice, Gary doesn’t rate himself too highly as a Dad, as he told Woman’s Day. “I’d give myself a five or six out of 10. I wish I was better. I try to be as good a father as I can be when I see them, but I often don’t see my younger ones as much as I like to.”

Fortunately, things between him and Nadia look pretty solid.

See? Solid. Arms around each other and everything.

Congratulations to Gary and Nadia. It’s lucky that there can never be too many Sweet people in the world.
