Jennifer Love Hewitt has never made a secret of her intention of having a family and, as she confirms herself in a statement to Us Weekly, she’s about to get her wish soon: she is pregnant with her first child.

The other day, rumors started making the rounds online that Hewitt might be pregnant, after a series of photos of her apparently hiding her belly on purpose from the paparazzi emerged online.

Hours later, she issued a statement to the aforementioned celebrity publication to say that, indeed, she and boyfriend Brian Hallisay were expecting their first child.

“We're so thrilled and happy to start a family,” Jennifer says.

An unnamed source reveals for the same publication that the actress is three months into the pregnancy.

Fans of the star, who can now be seen in “The Client List” know that, when it comes to love, she is not the luckiest person out there, as she also admitted in several of her older interviews.

That she finally found someone to start a family with is amazing and reason for happiness for her fans.

“The couple began dating 15 months ago after reconnecting on the set of their hit Lifetime show; they previously appeared on the short-lived NBC series Love Bites,” Us Weekly writes of the future first-time parents.

“Hewitt was previously engaged to Scottish actor Ross McCall, whom she began dating in 2005. They called it quits in late 2008 and Hewitt went on to date her Ghost Whisperer costar Jamie Kennedy from 2009 to 2010,” adds the same media outlet.

As of now, these are all the details available on the topic but, now that she’s confirmed the happy news, Jennifer will probably do an interview with one of the larger weeklies soon.

When that happens, rest assured you’ll find out about it here.
