Emily Blunt and her husband, John Krasinski (kruh-ZIN-skee), are expecting their first child.
A representative for the actress confirmed the pregnancy Wednesday. It was first reported by Us Weekly.
Krasinski, 33, played hapless Jim Halpert on NBC's workplace comedy "The Office." His film credits include "Away We Go" and "Leatherheads." Blunt, 30, has appeared in the movies "The Devil Wears Prada" and "The Adjustment Bureau."
The couple were married in 2010.

NIELSENS
The season has begun in earnest for NBC - and we're not talking about the fall television season.
It's football, and the week's TV ratings from the Nielsen company illustrate how important the game is to broadcast television. Peyton Manning's seven-touchdown attack last week brought 25.1 million viewers to the season-opening Baltimore-Denver game, while 25.4 million people watched Sunday's game between the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys.
Viewership was similar for the opening games last year: Sunday night's game was down slightly from 2012 while the Thursday kickoff was up this year.
Seven of the 10 most-watched programs last week were either the two football games, highlights packages from opening week games or pregame shows, Nielsen said.
It's not just the NFL, either. Two college football games - Notre Dame vs. Michigan and South Carolina vs. Georgia - landed among Nielsen's top 20 shows last week.
The summer's most popular show, CBS' "Under the Dome," dropped to No. 7 for the week.

Winehouse celebrated in her London spiritual home
In the month she would have turned 30, Amy Winehouse is being celebrated in the London neighborhood that was her physical and spiritual home.
The diva got her start amid the pubs and music clubs of Camden and died of accidental alcohol poisoning at her house in the area in July 2011, at age 27.
The neighborhood still attracts her fans, and local officials and businesses are holding a series of September events to raise money for the Amy Winehouse Foundation, a youth charity established by the singer's family.
The events include an exhibition at the Proud art gallery of photographs of Winehouse - many taken in Camden - alongside paintings, sketches and graffiti art.
Her father, Mitch Winehouse, said Wednesday that "Camden meant everything to Amy, and Camden recognizes that."

TV
"Mad Men," AMC's hugely popular series about the world of advertising in the '60s, has upped its episode order to 14 and will split the seventh and final season into two parts - seven episodes titled "The Beginning" in spring 2014 and seven more titled "The End of An Era" in spring 2015.
Although many viewers are watching their favorite TV shows online, the bulk of the viewership, as measured by the Nielsen ratings, is made up of those who watch their shows on an actual TV or replay via DVR on a set in their home.
