A baby is on the way for Hollywood couple Emily Blunt and John Krasinski. A representative for the "Looper" actress confirms to Us Weekly that she is due to give birth in a few months. It will be the first child for the pair who married in Italy three years ago.

The couple has never made secret of their desire to have a child. "We want to have children; I just don't know when yet," she told Manhattan magazine last year. "I'm just not sure about the timing of all of that. We're both from big families, so I think it's something we want."

Her actor husband even said once during an appearance on "Today" show that he's already got a taste of fatherhood from his "Promised Land" co-star Matt Damon. "We actually wrote with children climbing all over him, and he was doing bath time and dinner and everything, and we still got it done," he remembered.

Blunt, 30, and Krasinski, 33, married in Como, Italy after being together since 2008. "What I find difficult about my marriage: It's hard to sum up something that's so vital and means everything to you in a soundbite," she gushed. "Do you know what I mean? All I can say is that it's an effing blast. I'm just great and I'm so happy."

The actress who once dated Michael Buble said in a separate interview with InStyle that "meeting John really changed [her] life." "When I feel the support I have from him, I feel invincible. There's someone behind you on your good days, and someone in front of you on your bad day," she stated.
