Contrary to a handful of recent tabloid reports, Kerry Washington will not be hiring a divorce lawyer any time soon.

But she probably will be stopping by her OB-GYN’s office…

Kerry Washington Rules!

… because the actress is pregnant!!!! 

Insiders have confirmed to E! News that Washington is expecting her second child with husband Nnamdi Asomugha, with the news going viral just a few hours before Washington is also expected to walk the red carpet tonight at the 2016 Met Gala.

In other words:

Keep your eyes peeled for a baby bump, readers! This is so exciting!

Washington and Asomugha have unfortunately been the subject of a few break-up rumors over the past several weeks.

Neither half of the famous couple has addressed this chatter, however, because both the Scandal Season 5 star and the former NFL star value their privacy.

There’s a reason you have not yet seen any photos of their daughter, Isabelle, on any supermarket magazine covers, for instance. 

"I will say I feel really, really blessed," Kerry told to the Los Angeles Times in one of her first interviews after welcoming her first child.

"I just feel really blessed that I’m kind of living extraordinary dreams come true in my work life and in my personal life."

And while Washington has mostly remained quiet about life as a parent, her co-stars are more than happy to gush on her behalf.

Isn’t that, right, Tony Goldwyn?

"[Motherhood] has just made her more awesome than she was to begin with," the actor told E! News in the past.

"She’s just so happy all the time as it does when you have a baby. It’s a magical time."

We could not be more happy for Kerry Washington.

We’re gonna go watch Scandal online right now in her honor, in fact!

Please join us in sending this lovely couple our very best wishes.
