A source close to the comedian said, "David has been putting on a brave face. But people close to him are very worried because they know he is devastated."David hopes it's a blip and that they can get the marriage back on track somehow, especially seeing as there is a child involved. "The couple attended Elton John's wedding to David Furnish on 21 December, and two days later were seen at the London theatre production of Edward Scissorhands, where the last public photograph of them together was taken.While they initially seemed an unlikely pairing, David and Calvin Klein model Lara were believed to have a strong marriage. News of their split is said to have come as a huge shock to their friends.

My beautiful wife Lara is pregnant. We are having a baby! It's due next year and we both couldn't be happier." Little Alfred arrived on 6 May."I'm blessed," Lara told Dutch Vogue in August 2014. "I have a fantastic husband, a beautiful baby, a wonderful dog and super job. Life's pretty good and normal."
