{alltv} Rebecca Gayheart Confirms Pregnancy

After letting her expanding belly do the talking for several months, Rebecca Gayheart has confirmed that she is expecting her first child with husband Eric Dane — and the two are "absolutely looking forward" to parenthood.

"We've always wanted to be parents," she tells In Touch. "I think Eric is going to be a wonderful dad, and hopefully I'll be a good mom."

The actress says she's been doing yoga, taking walks on the beach and eating "a lot of vegetables and protein" during her pregnancy. "I'm having a great, great time right now and loving my life," she says.

Gayheart and the Grey's Anatomy hunk have been married since 2004. She is due in the spring.

Calls and e-mails to the couple's rep were not immediately returned.
