Baccarin confirmed the news to Us Weekly, but she didn’t offer further details about the pregnancy, including the due date.

Baccarin met her director husband through a mutual friend and began dating in 2007. They later got married in November 2011.

“We are solid,” she said a year later to Daily Mail. Although the couple was really busy with their own schedule, she revealed that she had her way to keep their relationship intact.

“You have to talk a lot. Which guys love,” she said. “You have to keep checking in, being aware of what is happening in each other’s worlds, otherwise you miss things, and then it becomes very hard to go back and connect the dots. But you also need to just know that the connection is there,” she shared her tips with a smile.

Baccarin is known for her role as Jessica Brody, the wife of politician Nicholas Brody, played by Damian Lewis, on Showtime’s “Homeland.” She’s also starred on ABC’s V and the sci-fi series Stargate SG-1.
