Some exciting baby news today, as it's been reported that Carey Mulligan is pregnant with her first child.

Carey has been married to Mumford and Sons frontman Marcus Mumford for three years, and now it seems they could be about to become parents.

Although the couple have yet to confirm the news officially, a source close to the pair says it won't be long now. "The thing with these two is that they are extremely private people. So they are holding out on the announcement until Carey starts showing," the insider told Star magazine.

Speculation that the Never Let Me Go actress was expecting started earlier this month, when she stepped out in a loose fitting embellished Christian Dior gown at the London premiere of Far From The Madding Crowd, looking a little curvier than usual around the stomach area. 

The 29-year-old wore another loose gown to the New York premiere of the film, this time a demure Lanvin gown that skimmed her curves.

Carey and Marcus married in 2012 in an intimate barnyard ceremony in Bridgewater, England. Prior to meeting Marcus Carey dated Tranformers star Shia LeBeouf for over a year, before parting ways when it became apparent they wanted different things.

"She was chasing marriage, family, kids more than I was," Shia revealed shortly after the break-up.

Well, it looks like Carey has finally gotten what she wanted, and we are delighted for her.
