Melissa George Expecting First Child

She may have just signed on to The Good Wife, but Melissa George‘s greatest role is yet to come: motherhood!

The actress is expecting her first child with boyfriend Jean-David Blanc, she announced Sunday on Twitter.

“Baby on the way! So so happy … xx,” George, 37, Tweeted.

The Australian actress — who is also known for her roles on Alias and Grey’s Anatomy — has had babies on the brain recently, telling the Herald Sun in March 2012 that she hoped a family was in her future despite her split from her now ex-husband.

“Whoever I have my baby with, I want to be proud of that man and I want to carry a child to a man who wants to do that as well,” she said. “But, hey, I’ve got years when you think about it.”
