Zooey Deschanel Pregnant: First Child With Jacob Penchenik, Girl Or Boy? [VIDEO]

Zooey Deschanel Pregnant - After "Bones" star Emily Deschanel announced that she was pregnant recently, weirdly enough, she soon found herself a new pregnancy pal in her sister and fellow actress Zooey Deschanel.

Zooey Deschanel is kicking off 2015 with a bang by announcing that she's pregnant.

The "New Girl " star confirmed the Zooey Deschanel pregnant news to People. The baby is her first child with boyfriend Jacob Pechenik, a film producer.

The baby is reportedly expected to arrive this summer, her rep confirms to PEOPLE exclusively.

"Jacob and I are over the moon," said the 34-year-old actress . "We are so excited to meet our little one."

Before the Zooey Deschanel pregnant news came out, Deschanel has been dating Pechenik, 42, since mid-2014, according to Time. The actress was first linked romantically with Pechenik after paparazzi spotted them together at a park in August 2014 after Deschanel divorced Death Cab for Cutie frontman Ben Gibbard in 2012.

Their first public appearance was at the 2014 Emmy Awards shortly thereafter, reports ABC News.

The announcement of Zooey Deschanel pregnant may appear to have come as surprise to anyone who have read her interview in the August 2014 issue of InStyle women's magazine. The "She & Him" singer told the publication that she doesn't like answering questions about starting a family.

"When I was married, that was the first thing people wanted to know," she told the magazine. "Like every woman is dying to give birth! I don't think so. Nobody asks a guy that. And you go into a supermarket and every tabloid is like, 'Pregnant and Alone!' Stuck in this 1950s ideal of how a woman should live her life. That's not something that defines me at all.'"

While the Zooey Deschanel pregnant news is out, it remains unknown how far along the stylish actress is in her pregnancy, nor is there word about the baby's sex. However, rest assured that the couple's child will have no problems finding playdates in the future, especially since Emily, Zooey's sister's current pregnancy is of her second child with husband, actor David Hornsby.
