CATALINA ISLAND, Calif., Jan. 21 (UPI) -- Zooey Deschanel has had a busy January. First she announces she's pregnant and then beau Jacob Pechenik proposes to her on her birthday.

The couple have been dating since mid-2014 after Deschanel split from screenwriter Jamie Linden.

It'll be Deschanel's second marriage. She divorced Death Cab for Cutie singer Ben Gibbard in 2012 after about three years of marriage.

Deschanel and Pechenik announced earlier this month they are expecting their first child together
