Juliette Barnes is going to have a bump soon, y’all! Hayden Panettiere is reportedly pregnant with her first child , according to Us Weekly.

“Hayden is totally pregnant!” their source says. While some may be skeptical due to their source sounding like an excited teenage girl, it’s not hard to believe that Hayden’s going to be a mama soon.

This will be the first child for the Nashville actress and her Ukrainian heavyweight boxing champion fiance, Wladimir Klitschko. Hayden’s spoken out before about how she can’t wait to start a family, most recently in Glamour.

“I’ve lived a very big life, and I don’t feel my age, and I feel like I was born to be a mother,” she told the magazine. “Sometimes people speak about [having kids] like, ‘Your life ends — you’re never going to be able to do anything again!’ And I’m like, ‘What are you talking about?’ Motherhood is the most beautiful, exciting thing, and there’s nothing that I feel like I can’t accomplish while having children in my life.”

She even told Ellen DeGeneres what she and Wladimir’s future children would look like.

“He’s got bowlegs and I’ve got knocked knees, so they’re going to have straight legs,” Hayden said last year. “And they’ll be normal height.”

Hayden and Wladimir got engaged last March. Hayden recently told Parade that her engagement plans were on hold because of the current unrest in Ukraine. It may be a little longer now for one new (and very cute) reason!
