Australian TV favourite Rove McManus and his wife Tasma Walton are set to become parents for the first time.
The couple announced they were expecting a baby at the Toronto Film Festival where the expecting mum is promoting her new movie.
“I’m very happy and excited at the thought of being a mum,” the 40-year-old actress told News Corp.
“It will be a nice payoff for all this morning sickness, reflux and constipation.”
Rove, who is a regular on the US chat show circuit after giving up his chat show for LA life, said he was informed of the pregnancy by an obstetrician who said to him “It’s official, you’ve knocked her up!”
“I’m not sure if it’s a standard medical term but it was nice to have it confirmed,” the 39-year-old TV star said.
The couple were married in 2009 in Western Australia but have been based in LA for the past few years.
McManus lost his first wife actress Belinda Emmett in November 2006 at age 32 after a long battle with breast cancer.
