Colin Farrell is to become a dad again, it has been reported.

According to gossip columnist Perez Hilton, the heartthrob actor's Irish medical student girlfriend Muireann McDonell - who he has only been dating for a few months - is pregnant with his baby.

A source said: "She's just under three months along now. They're trying to keep it quiet."

The tot will be Colin's second child. He has a three-year-old son, James, from his relationship with American model Kim Bordenave.

The 31-year-old actor has previously said fatherhood inspired him to change his wild partying ways and check into rehab to be treated for an addiction to prescription painkillers.

Colin - who was renowned for his womanizing, drinking and drug use - said: "I was burning the candle at both ends and the flames met in the middle. But now I have a new-found appreciation of life. I wasn't suicidal but I never had much of a will to live for a long time."

"Now I want to watch my son grow up, be his friend and his father, and hang around with him. He's the greatest priority in my life."

The 'Miami Vice' star was briefly married to English actress Amelia Warner, but they split just a few months after tying the knot in July 2001.
