Malin Akerman Expecting First Child

Malin Akerman is going to be a mom!

The Rock of Ages actress, 34, and her husband Roberto Zincone are expecting their first child together, her rep confirms to PEOPLE.

Akerman — known for her roles in Wanderlust and Watchmen — and Zincone, the drummer in her former band The Petalstones, tied the knot in Italy in 2007. And the actress considers herself a very lucky woman.

“I really hit the jackpot,” she told Women’s Health in 2009 of her husband. “Roberto is so accepting and supportive.

She admitted at the time that not everyone had faith their romance would last — but the couple have happily proved skeptics wrong.

“People would say, ‘I’ll give the two of you five years,’” she told the magazine. “But it gets better and better every day.”
