Olivier Martinez and Halle Berry are expecting a baby.

The couple is set to welcome their first child together this fall, Berry’s rep tells PEOPLE.

“I can confirm that Halle and Olivier are expecting a child,” the rep says.

“Halle is feeling great. It’s a very exciting time,” a source tells PEOPLE. “This happened naturally — everyone is really happy.”

“She always talks about being a mom and she definitely wanted this for a long time,” a friend adds.

Berry, 46, is already mom to 5-year-old daughter Nahla Ariela from her previous relationship with Gabriel Aubry.

After more than a year of dating, the Oscar-winning actress and Martinez, 47, were engaged in January 2012.

Last fall, Berry admitted that her little girl was hoping for a sibling.

“Every night, we do our prayers,” she explained at the time. “She says, ‘God, please bring me a bunk bed and a baby sister.’ And I say, ‘I can do one of those things, I know for sure. The other one, we’ve got to keep praying on.’”

With that prayer answered, Berry is focused on having a healthy nine months, as she did while expecting Nahla.

“My pregnancy was amazing. I was happy that whole time, I felt good, I had energy, I was like Superwoman,” she has said. “I wish I could feel like that for the rest of my life, that’s how fantastic it was.”

It’s a girl for Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell!

“Lincoln Bell Shepard is here,” the Parenthood star Tweets. “She has mom’s beauty and dad’s obsession with breasts. Hooray!!!”

“My new roommate poops her pants and doesn’t pay rent…basically Dax pre-sobriety,” Bell adds. “Welcome baby Lincoln.”

Shepard, 38, and the House of Lies star, 32, announced the pregnancy in November.

Earlier this winter, Bell celebrated her baby shower while Shepard joked that he hoped their baby resembled his fiancée.

As for the delivery, the Veronica Mars star had big plans.

“I want a glass of whiskey, I want the epidural in my back,” Bell joked. “I want to get hit in the face with a baseball bat and wake me up when it’s over, because I’ve seen the videos and it looks terrifying.”

Hayden Panettiere Secretly Engaged to Wladimir Klitschko!

Hayden Panettiere and boxer Wladimir Klitschko are going the distance during round 2! The Nashville star, who reconciled with her Ukrainian boyfriend in January, is now planning their wedding, a source tells Us Weekly.

“Very few people know, and she isn’t wearing her ring publicly yet,” adds the friend of the duo, who first parted ways in May 2011 after two years of dating.

Since getting back together, the actress, 23, and the athlete, 37, have refused to confirm their relationship. (Despite multiple PDA-packed outings — including a cuddly March 24 courtside appearance at a Miami Heat game — Panettiere said they were “just good buddies” in mid-January).

Privately, however, the 5-foot-2 knockout and the 6-foot-6 heavyweight champ are eager to legalize their match. Says the source, “Looks like a summer wedding!”

Panettiere has previously dated Heroes costar Milo Ventimiglia and One Tree Hill star Stephen Colletti, but the actress admitted to Us in 2011 that she prefers dating athletes. “They’re in similar circles, where they understand the schedule, the work ethic, the social aspect,” she explained, “but they’re not exactly in your industry, so it works out well.”

Ryan Seacrest and Julianne Hough Split

After dating for more than two years, Ryan Seacrest and Julianne Hough have decided to take a break and are living apart, sources close to the couple confirm to PEOPLE.

The sources maintain that busy work schedules proved to be a great challenge for them both, although they are still in regular contact and remain friends.

Reps for Hough and Seacrest declined to comment.

The American Idol host and media mogul, 38, and former Dancing with the Stars pro and actress, 24, have spoken candidly in the past about juggling career and a relationship.

“It’s a hard thing to do, especially when you’re so caught up in your work and bettering yourself,” Hough recently told PARADE. “I think at the end of the day you have to find a balance with what’s really important.”

After ringing in the new year, the duo enjoyed a romantic getaway in St. Bart’s days later.

“The kids are looking forward to a little sibling, and are asking a lot of funny questions right now.”
