    Tears for Fears musician Roland Orzabal has become a father for the third time at the age of 63

    The guitarist-and-vocalist and his spouse Emily Rath Orzabal were revealed to be expecting their first child together at the end of June when the 38-year-old photographer showed off a photo of her bump, but now Roland's bandmate, Curt Smith, has revealed the tot was actually born around then.


    Curt told Vulture in an interview published in August that has just come to light: "We were going to tour this summer, but Roland and his wife had a baby in June. So the summer touring obviously was off because you don't want to be away from home that close to having a baby."

    Roland - who also has two sons, Pascal and Raoul, from his previous marriage to Caroline Orzabal - and Emily "secretly eloped" and tied the knot 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 previously 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. 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!"

    A year after Roland and Emily's elopement in 2020, they had a celebratory wedding with friends and family at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire, England.

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