(Reuters) – Actress Kristen Bell is expecting her first child with actor Dax Shepard, her spokeswoman said on Monday.
“Veronica Mars” actress Bell, 32, is expecting the child in late spring with her fiancé, “Parenthood” actor Shepard, 37, the actress’ representative Marcel Pariseau told Reuters.
The couple announced their engagement in January 2010 and this is the first child for both.
Bell has forged a successful career in TV shows including “Heroes” and “House of Lies,” and movies such as “Forgetting Sarah Marshall.”
She starred alongside comedian Shepard in the 2010 romantic comedy “When in Rome” and more recently in this year’s independent film “Hit and Run.”
