— -- Ben McKenzie and Morena Baccarin are expecting a baby, his rep confirmed to ABC News.

This is the first child for the couple.

“She and Ben are very happy about this news,” a source told People magazine. “Everyone is very excited.”

Earlier this week, at an Emmys celebration, McKenzie, 37, and Baccarin, 36, were photographed together for the first time.

This is the first child for the "Gotham" actor and the second for Baccarin, who has a son, Julius, with her estranged husband, Austin Chick. It was reported in July that Chick had filed for divorce from the "Homeland" star, citing irreconcilable differences.
