Tears for Fears musician Roland Orzabal and his wife have revealed that they are expecting a baby together. 

The musician, 64, and his spouse, photographer Emily Rath Orzabal, 38, shared the happy news on Instagram as they prepare to welcome their first child together.

Emily shared a photo of her showing off her baby bump on social media and captioned simply with a red heart emoji.

The couple ‘secretly eloped’ and married on Aspen Mountain in Colorado in 2020 after having to postpone their original wedding due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Revealing their private nuptials, Emily posted on Instagram: ‘We had to postpone our original wedding date in September 2020 because of Covid. 

‘I felt as all corona brides have been feeling: angry, sad, gypped, and confused as to when we should have a wedding.

‘Roland and I were in the States for work. We desperately wanted to get married, even just legally, and so to honour our original date, we secretly eloped, just the two of us, atop a mountain in Aspen. It was the most magical moment of my life.

‘It breaks my heart that my family could not be there to see it, but no one wanted to risk their safety.

‘Two weddings was never my dream, but we adapted, separating the legal wedding from the celebratory wedding to come.’

She continued: ‘In September we were able to use the autumnal flowers we’d originally wanted, and next year we can have all of the spring flowers! 

‘We got married at 11,212 ft high on Aspen Mountain, whereas next year will be inside an incredible venue.

‘I wore a stunning Amanda Wakeley dress, which flowed in the wind so beautifully, and next year I will be wearing Phillipa Lepley. 

‘I still don’t feel as though I’ve had a wedding, because it was just the two of us, and it was a secret. We have yet to have a first dance or a honeymoon! 

‘But, six months into marriage, I am so happy, and cannot wait to marry Roland again next year, with all of our favourite people around us. We’ve been planning that one for a very very long time, so it should be extraordinary!’

Caroline died in July 2017 aged 54 after suffering from alcoholism-related dementia and cirrhosis, which followed a depression diagnosis.

Following the passing of Caroline with whom he was married to since 1982, Roland told The Irish Times that his life ‘sort of fell apart in 2018’ and he went to rehab.
