Claire Danes is expecting her first child with her British actor husband Hugh Dancy.
The baby news for the actress, who will return to US screens in September for a second series of her hit TV show Homeland, was confirmed by Claire's representative Jodi Gottlieb.
Claire, 33, and 37-year-old Hugh met on the set of the film Evening and married in 2009 in France.
The actress first became famous as a teenager on the television drama My So Called Life, where she won a Golden Globe Award and was nominated for an Emmy. The show was cancelled after its first season but developed a cult following.
Hugh will star in the upcoming NBC series Hannibal, adapted from the novel Red Dragon by Thomas Harris.
