Toni Collette has announced she is expecting her first child with her musician husband, Dave Galafassi.
The Little Miss Sunshine actress announced she is expecting her first child with her musician husband, Dave Galafassi, yesterday.
Toni, 34, said: "We're very happy. We are completely over the moon. It's strange really, the last three films I've done I have been pregnant in. I'm just, like, what is the universe trying to tell me? But I think everything happens when it's meant to."
The In Her Shoes star performed at Live Earth Sydney on Saturday with her rock band, Toni Collette and the Finish, in which Galafassi is the drummer.
Toni was determined to play at the event - which was part of a series of worldwide concerts, organised by former US Vice-President Al Gore to raise awareness of global warming - because she is a keen environmentalist.
She said: "It's not a time to be ignorant about what is happening to the planet. It can be a great pressure, but the more people know, the more they will hopefully feel they have a responsibility to the planet.
Certainly Al Gore's film, An Inconvenient Truth, spoke to a lot of people and if the message can get out in any shape or form that's a good thing. Music can create unity."

The former Beverly Hills, 90210 star and his wife Naomi Lowde have become the proud parents of a baby girl.
The newborn is the couple's first child together, and mother and baby are said to be doing well.
No other information about the birth has been released yet.
Jason, 37, and Naomi, 31, got engaged in May 2004, after dating for three years.
The couple married in May 2005 in an exotic ceremony on Paradise Island in the Bahamas.
Wedding guests included Jason's former 90210 co-stars Tori Spelling, Jennie Garth, Ian Ziering and Tiffani Thiessen.
Before tying the knot, the actor was nearly killed in an 180mph speedway crash in Kentucky in 2002 and Naomi helped nurse him back to health.
The ceremony marked Jason's second marriage - the star split from his first wife, Ashlee Petersen, in 1999.
