‘Gotham’ stars Morena Baccarin, Ben McKenzie expecting first child together
Ryan Atwood-er, we mean Benjamin McKenzie-is going to be a dad!
TMZ reports the actress will reveal her pregnancy (and the father) during a court appearance for her divorce case on Thursday.
In the documents New York-based Baccarin is seeking full custody of one-year-old son Julius because she says she soon will be unable to fly to Los Angeles, where Mr Chick lives.
The website also claims Morena is at the end of her first trimester.
Baccarin’s estranged husband, director-producer Austin Chick, filed for divorce in July, citing irreconcilable differences.
The child will be the first for the former “O.C.” actor, 37, and the second for the Brazilian beauty, 36.
McKenzie and Baccarin have been rumored to be romantically involved in recent weeks, just like their characters on the Fox series.
“I like the idea of old-fashioned dating, which at this point is nearly heretical”, Ben said. Boccarin is pregnant with their first child together. Baccarin is already mom to son Julius Setta Chick, 1, whom she had with director-writer Austin Chick.
Morena worked with Ben on one episode of “The O.C.” back in 2006, and joined “Gotham” in late 2014.
The pair met on the set of hit US TV show Gotham – a prequel to the Batman story.
