Actress Drea De Matteo has confirmed reports she is expecting her first child. The former Sopranos star is pregnant with her boyfriend Shooter Jennings' baby. The couple has been dating for five years.

News of Matteo's pregnancy broke when website PageSix.com reported she was overheard discussing the impending birth with her boyfriend during a New York shopping trip.

Her spokesperson says, "Drea de Matteo and her long time boyfriend Shooter Jennings are having a baby and they are so excited. The only reason we're announcing the news is because the very rude and condescending sales people at Veronique Maternity on Madison Avenue decided to leak this to the press, so please beware if you're trying to keep your happy secret under wraps."
