A massive Gavin and Stacey star has become a dad for the first time ahead of this year’s highly anticipated Christmas Special. Mathew Horne , who plays Gavin on the hit BBC sitcom, was pictured pushing a pram through the streets of London over the Bank Holiday weekend as his wife Celina Bassili carried their son in her arms. Fiercely private Mathew has never publicly posted anything about his wife or son, as despite being a huge acting star and a household name for his appearances in Gavin and Stacey, The Catherine Tate Show and Bad Education to name a few, he has always preferred to keep his personal life out of the spotlight.
But it is thought the 45-year-old actually became a dad shortly after he and Norwegian set designer Celina married in September 2021, so the lad could be nearly three already. And Mathew appeared to take fatherhood in his stride as he and Celina kept a low profile in casual outfits and shades as they enjoyed a stroll in the sunshine.

Celina’s brother has a son who is a similar age and they loved spending time together. Mathew kept the news quiet because he prefers to live his life out of the spotlight, even though he’s a household name thanks to Gav.
