It seems like either a new little she or him is on the way! Today (Jan. 13), She & Him singer and New Girl actress Zooey Deschanel announced that she is expecting her first child.

In a new statement to People, the 34-year-old revealed that she and boyfriend Jacob Pechenik are expecting their first baby.

"Jacob and I are over the moon. We are so excited to meet our little one," she said to the celeb magazine.

Deschanel is reportedly due to have the baby this summer - she has not revealed the sex of the child yet.

The new bundle of joy will be the first baby for Deschanel and Pechenik, a 42-year-old producer.

Though notably private, the couple have been dating since mid-2014. They met on the set of the upcoming film, Rock the Kasbah, in which Deschanel is an actress and Pechenik was a producer. The movie, due out this year, also stars Bill Murray, Kate Hudson and Bruce Willis, according to iMDB.

Deschanel's new man may not be as uber-famous as she is, but he's got quite the filmography behind him. Past production credits of his include Before Midnight, Jobs and The Skeleton Twins.

Deschanel, of course, is best known for her acting roles in New Girl, (500) Days of Summer and Elf. In addition to acting, Deschanel also works with M. Ward in the indie duo She & Him, which released its last album Classics last year.
