Just four months after secretly marrying San Francisco 49ers cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha, Kerry Washington has more big news: She’s pregnant.
According E! News the Scandal star, 36, and her husband, 31, are expecting their first child.
“She had planned to wait longer because the pregnancy is being well hidden on Scandal with her trademark coats, but it will be pretty obvious on Saturday Night Live this Saturday,” a source explains. “So she decided to start telling people now.”
The Emmy-nominated actress opened up about her decision to keep her personal life private during the September issue of Glamour. “I’ve had earlier times in my career when I did talk about it,” she told the magazine. “But I couldn’t just turn around and say, ‘I only want to talk about the good stuff, but not the bad stuff.’ So I just thought, ‘Okay, no more.'”
theGrio reached out to Washington’s rep for a comment, but has not yet received a response.
Tune in to see Washington host Saturday Night Live this weekend on NBC.
