SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 18 (UPI) -- San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom and his wife, actress Jennifer Siebel Newsom, are expecting their first child, his office said Wednesday.

"We are pleased to confirm that Mayor Gavin Newsom and first lady Jennifer Siebel Newsom are starting a family," Newsom spokesman Nathan Ballard said in a statement.

"The mayor and the first lady are thrilled to be embarking on this adventure together, and they appreciate your good wishes."

Bay City News Service said the statement confirms earlier news reports that the couple were starting a family. The 41-year-old mayor and 34-year-old actress were married last July.
