Claire Danes has announced that she is pregnant. This will be the first child for the actress and her British actor husband Hugh Dancy.

The news was confirmed Wednesday by Danes’ rep, Jodi Gottlieb, to PEOPLE.

Last fall the magazine asked Claire if she was thinking about starting a family, “There’s definitely a chance, no plans yet. But yeah, that would be fun.”

Hugh and Claire met while on the set of the film ‘Evening’ and wed in 2009 during in a private ceremony in France.

The power couple have several irons in the fire. Claire’s hit TV series ‘Homeland’ will return for its second season on Sept. 30, and Hugh will star in the upcoming NBC series ‘Hannibal.’
