Benedict joked that \u201cit takes a village to prepare for one and it possibly takes a city for two.\u201d Christopher Carlton Cumberbatch\u2019s second brother, Finn Cumberbatch, arrived in 2019, though his day and month of birth have never been mentioned.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Sophie was already Expecting Christopher Before Their Wedding<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The British actor and his wife were already expecting Christopher before they announced their wedding.
