Rebecca Gayheart has confirmed reports that she’s expecting her first child with husband Eric Dane

“We’ve always wanted to be parents. I think Eric is going to be a wonderful dad, and hopefully I’ll be a good mom. We’re absolutely looking forward to it,” she comes clean with the baby news in the Nov. 23 issue of In Touch.

Gayheart — who previously struggled with a drug addiction and was featured in an “erotic” video with her Grey’s Anatomy star spouse last summer — says her pregnancy has been a very healthy one: “I’m doing yoga, and I’m walking on the beach every day with my dogs for about an hour. I drink lots of water and eat a lot of vegetables and protein. I’m having a great, great time right now and loving my life.”
