Rachel Leigh Cook and Daniel Gillies expecting first child

LOS ANGELES, May 8 (UPI) -- U.S. actress Rachael Leigh Cook has confirmed she is pregnant with her first child.

The "Perception" and "She's All That" star married "The Vampire Diaries" actor Daniel Gillies in 2004. They will soon be seen together in the Showtime movie "Broken Kingdom."

"I've been hiding my rapidly growing bump while shooting but this kiddo is vying for screen time," Cook told UsMagazine.com Tuesday. "We clearly have a future actor on our hands."

"A lot of people are asking whether I'd prefer a boy or a girl. In truth, it doesn't matter to me -- I just can't wait to meet little Keanu Robocop," Gillies said.

The couple didn't divulge the child's gender or expected birth date.
