Anne Heche and partner James Tupper are expecting their first child
together.
The Nip/Tuck star - who met actor James on the set of her US TV show Men In Trees in 2006 when she was still married to ex-husband Coleman Laffoon - is said to be extremely excited about the pregnancy.
The 39-year-old actress' representative said: "They are both thrilled!"
James, who was also married when he first met Anne, revealed recently he
feels blessed to have met the actress because they have developed such a
deep bond.
He said: "In that friendship, we kind of discovered we saw the world in a somewhat similar way. I think we both made decisions that were based on the relationships we were in.
"I wish people could meet her in person. She has such a sparkle and such a love for people, and she works so hard. She is so dedicated to all the good things."
Anne has a six-year-old son Homer with Coleman.
Before marrying Coleman, Anne was romantically linked to US TV talk show
host Ellen DeGeneres.
