are expanding their brood and are expecting twins...by surrogate.

The couple has been dogged by rumours that their 11-year

marriage was on the rocks

for months - following allegations he cheated on her with a 25-year-old beauty - and were reportedly more or less living separate lives.

Infidelity? Neigh, neigh!

Unperturbed by the incessant rumours, Parker recently said, "We don't even bother to address them (the reports)."

star and her actor husband appear to be making a go of things and are "overjoyed" to announce they're expecting the birth of twin daughters through a surrogate pregnancy, their reps say.

The happy couple "are happily anticipating the birth of their twin daughters later this summer with the generous help of a surrogate.

"The entire family is overjoyed," said a statement from their mouthpieces.

Parker, 44, and Broderick, 47, also have a son, 6-year-old James Wilkie.

There. Calm is restored. It's all unicorns and rainbows from here on in for the twosome.

that the proud parents had been trying to expand their litter for some years, but their efforts proved fruitless.

"They had a lot of unsuccessful tries," says snitch.

"They came to the conclusion that this was going to be the best alternative for expanding their family.

The two reportedly turned to a surrogate - who remains anonymous - last year.

"They are over the moon as any prospective parents would be. Their life is about to get a lot busier."

. However, the Stepford Wife's law firm has decided that it may be difficult to impossible for the husband to enforce this. It seems that the wife knows much more than she should about the husband's long-time and very personal relationship with another high-profile man. She is using that knowledge to get her sentence reduced and to to gain custody over the couple's kid/s.

Clearly with far too much time on their hands, the pair have conjured up some pet names for each other. Wait for it...

Butler calls Foxx "The Fool", and the Scotsman is known as "Ger-tard!" Geddit? Ger-tard?

"It's like high school on this set!" says the snitch.
