Leighton Meester is expecting her first child with husband, Adam Brody, Us Weekly reports. The actress and singer just recently wrapped up her tour and has been recently photographed with Brody on a lunch date, showing off her belly bump.

The exciting news comes just after the "Gossip Girl" alum revealed her goals in the near future which included starting a family. In an interview with Nylon magazine, the pregnant Leighton Meester talked about her pregnancy.

"Most people I know are starting to get married. It will be kids next," said the pregnant Leighton Meester, and added that she loves "the grown-up stuff" including having her own house.

She explained that her desire to become an adult stemmed from working on "Gossip Girl" at a young age. So when the show ended in 2012, Leighton Meester wanted to do things that were challenging and exciting and more "her adult taste."

The pregnant Leighton Meester and her 35-year old husband met in 2011 on the set of the romantic comedy film, "The Oranges" and started dating soon after. A source at the time told Us that the pair has always been friendly and extremely close, while another revealed that Meester had always had a liking for Brody. 

The adorable couple, who formerly worked with Josh Schwartz on the teen series "Gossip Girl" and "The O.C," respectively, then worked together in the comedy film "Life Partners" which premiered last year. 

Though Leighton Meester and Brody never said anything about their romance, Us reported in February of last year, that they had already tied the knot. They made their red carpet debut as a married couple at the Tony Awards four months later.

Back in August, Brody participated in Reddit's Ask Me Anything and was asked how many children he wants to have, to which he replied, "twelve," and jokingly added, "And I decide."

Brody previously dated fellow O.C. star Rachel Bilson for three years, who gave birth to her and boyfriend Hayden Christensen's first child Briar Rose, in November last year. Meanwhile, Leighton Meester's Gossip Girl co-star Blake Lively, welcomed baby daughter James with Ryan Reynolds in December 2014.
