Leighton Meester and Adam Brody Are Expecting!
by Shannon Keirnan
Well, how cute is this!
Former "Gossip Girl" star Leighton Meester is expecting her first child with husband Adam Brody!
Popsugar was the first to break the news, spotting the glowing actress out and about in Los Angeles, sharing lunch with her hubby and sporting a considerable bump.
The two have yet to confirm the news, but the couple is notoriously private about their personal life. They kept their courtship under wraps, and didn't reveal they had secretly wed in 2014 until four months after the fact (to date they have yet to formally comment) by appearing on the red carpet as man and wife.
Meester, 29, and Brody, 35, met while working on 2011's "The Oranges" together. They went on to work together again in 2014's "Life Partners." Meester recently wrapped up her first venture into Broadway, appearing in "Of Mice and Men," while Brody is at work on television series "Billy and Billie."
Meester revealed to Nylon last fall that kids were a likely part of her future.
"Most people I know are starting to get married. It'll be kids next," she said. "I like the grown-up stuff. I like having a house. I've got dogs."
Brody has also previously commented on adding little ones to his family. When asked how many kids he wanted during a Reddit AMA, he said, "I say twelve. And I decide."
Whew, a dozen? Good thing that Meester makes an absolutely adorable expectant mother. Congratulations to Meester and Brody on what sounds like the first of many beautiful children!
