Stephen Fry and Elliott Spencer considering fatherhood

Stephen Fry has revealed that he and his husband Elliott Spencer are considering parenthood.

The couple tied the knot in January in a small ceremony, and in an upcoming episode of BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs, the actor and author reveals the pair have discussed adding to their family in the future, The Mirror reports.

Asked by presenter Kirsty Young if the newlyweds wanted to raise a family, the Fry replied: “We sort of talk about it and I suddenly think, ‘Oh my goodness I’m such an age now’, but actually that’s rather good, but we better get on with it if we do.”

The 57-year-old – who dedicates Ella Fitzgerald’s Do I Love You? to Mr Spencer – describes his new husband as the “great love of my life”, adding that married life is “bliss”.

“I’m still very much in the honeymoon phase, the I think we both are, I hope so, and new and miraculous things have happened in our culture and I wanted to celebrate that and what better way than to be married,” he said.

“It’s bliss, I do carry a ridiculous beam on my face.”

Meanwhile, Spencer recently revealed that the couple were forced to cut their honeymoon short after experiencing homophobia in Honduras – find out more here.
