Eric Clapton's 'Secret' Daughter Ruth Announces Third Pregnancy Amidst New Love

Eric Clapton's 'secret daughter' Ruth Clapton - who the rock legend fathered following an affair while he was married to Sixties bombshell Pattie Boyd - has revealed she is expecting a baby

SCANDALOUS SECRET: Eric Clapton's Long-Lost Love Child Ruth Clapton is PREGNANT AGAIN!

Get ready for a juicy dose of celebrity gossip, as The Scholarly Note brings you the most shocking news in town! Eric Clapton's "secret daughter" Ruth Clapton, who was born out of wedlock during his tumultuous marriage to Pattie Boyd, is expecting her third child with her new beau Peter Greenwood!

But before we dive into the juicy details, let's take a trip down memory lane. Remember when we first met Ruth in 1991, at Eric's son Conor's funeral? Yeah, it was a real tear-jerker! Little did we know that this was just the beginning of Ruth's journey to fame.

Ruth has opened up about her difficult first trimester, revealing she’s been suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum, a severe form of morning sickness

Fast-forward to present day, and Ruth is now a proud mom of two sons, Isaac (11) and Theodore (9), from her previous marriage to British architect Dean Bartlett. But what's even more exciting is that she's found love again with Peter Greenwood, a British musician! And guess what? They're having a baby!

Ruth, 40, took to social media to share the happy news, posting a heartwarming video of herself and Peter embracing, cradling her growing bump, and showing off the ultrasound scans. "We're having a baby! Just over 12 weeks now, due at the end of January 2026. So grateful," she captioned the adorable clip.

But let's get real for a second - Ruth's pregnancy journey hasn't been all sunshine and rainbows. She revealed that she's been struggling with hyperemesis gravidarum, a severe form of morning sickness that left her feeling like she was "sick all day every day." Ouch!

The pregnancy announcement comes more than three decades after Ruth was thrust into the spotlight as the ‘secret daughter’ of Eric Clapton (pictured with Clapton in 2003)

Luckily, Peter has been an amazing partner, picking up the slack with their kids, housework, and even working full-time. Talk about a team player! Ruth gushed about how his support has made this pregnancy feel different from her previous ones.

"I think who I'm doing this with obviously makes a big difference," she said. "In my previous pregnancies, I was single, and it was just me dealing with everything on my own. This time around, I have someone to share the experience with, and that's made all the difference."

But don't get too comfortable, folks! Ruth has also spoken about her complicated past with Eric Clapton. Remember when she revealed that he dressed up as Kermit the Frog for his 70th birthday party? Yeah, it was a bit of an awkward moment! The two have had their ups and downs over the years, but it seems like they've finally put their differences aside.

The happy news comes just two months after MailOnline exclusively revealed she had found love with British musician Peter Greenwood following the collapse of her first marriage

In fact, Ruth credits Eric with being a source of emotional support during her divorce. Aww, isn't that sweet?

As she navigates this new chapter in her life, Ruth has promised fans a more open glimpse into her pregnancy journey - including maternity fashion! Who knows what kind of stylish ensembles we'll see? Stay tuned!

In the meantime, let's raise a glass to Ruth and Peter as they prepare for their new addition. Congratulations, you two!

The influencer also shared photos from her first ultrasound scan with Instagram followers

Ruth was born following Clapton's affair with studio manager Yvonne Kelly while he was still married to George Harrisons's ex-wife, model Pattie Boyd (pictured with Boyd in 1986)

Speaking on Wednesday, Ruth reflected on how different this pregnancy feels, both physically and emotionally

The baby will be Ruth’s third child - she is already mum to sons Isaac, 11, and Theodore, nine, from her previous marriage to the British architect Dean Bartlett
