Filed under: Baby News, Eric Dane, Rebecca Gayheart

Though a suspicious baby bump has been discussed in the media for months, Rebecca Gayheart and her husband Eric Dane have just now confirmed a pregnancy.

Gayheart told In Touch Weekly, “We’ve always wanted to be parents. I think Eric is going to be a wonderful dad, and hopefully I’ll be a good mom. We’re absolutely looking forward to it!”

Gayheart, 38, added that she’s taking good care of herself in anticipation of her first child.

“I’m doing yoga, and I’m walking on the beach every day with my dogs for about an hour. I drink lots of water and eat a lot of vegetables and protein.”

Gayheart made a name for herself in the ’90s as the spokesperson for Noxema, and later starred in series ‘Dead Like Me’ and ‘Nip/Tuck.’ Dane plays Dr. Mark “McSteamy” Sloan on ‘Grey’s Anantomy.’ The couple married in 2004.

Gayheart and Dane were recently involved in a lawsuit concerning a leaked tape that showed the couple in an intimate encounter with another woman.

Still, impending motherhood has redeemed the past few months for Gayheart. “I’m having a great, great time right now and loving my life,” she said.
