Photographer David Bailey's son Sascha has revealed he and girlfriend are expecting a baby boy.

The baby's gender reveal comes just three years after Sascha considered transitioning into a woman.

The former model, 30, who is the son of renowned photographer David Bailey and his model ex-wife Catherine, was so depressed during his marriage that he believed he was suffering from gender dysphoria - and seriously considered undergoing irreversible surgery to become female.

Now, as he prepares to welcome his first child in August with Lucy Brown - a former assistant to political activist Tommy Robinson - Sascha said that he is finally out of the 'worst years of my life'.

He told MailOnline: ‘We’re having a boy. We’re calling him Wolfgang Robert Bailey.

'Wolfgang was going to be my name, but my Dad vetoed it. I always wanted it, so now I’m passing it on. And Robert is after Lucy’s uncle, who has passed away.’

The milestone is made even sweeter, he said, by the fact that his divorce from Japanese lawyer Mimi Nishikawa, 49, is now finally coming to an end after three tumultuous years.

‘It has been a nightmare but the divorce is in the final stage and is due to go through next month,’ he said. ‘So this will be a whole new beginning. I've never felt happier.'
