Jessica Alba and boyfriend Cash Warren will soon be a fantastic three.

The couple is expecting their first child together in late spring or early summer, Alba's rep Brad Cafarelli confirmed Wednesday.

People was first to report news of the pregnancy. 

Alba, 26, and Warren, the 28-year-old son of former Hill Street Blues star Michael Warren, have dated on and off since the fall of 2004, after meeting on the set of The Fantastic Four, in which she starred and he worked as a director's assistant. 

So far, there's no word on how the impending addition may affect Alba's upcoming production schedule.

She recently wrapped filming on The Love Guru, opposite Mike Myers and Justin Timberlake, and is attached to star in the long delayed Sin City sequel.

She'll also be seen in the horror film The Eye, slated for release Feb. 1.

Alba also recently confirmed she was in talks to make her Broadway debut in a revival of David Mamet's Speed-the-Plow, playing the role originated by Madonna in the 1988  production.

"Well, there's a rumor. Yeah, I've been asked to do it," she said last month on Live with Regis and Kelly.

"But this is just talk. It's not really happening yet," she added.

At the time, Alba said that taking the role next summer might work out to be "perfect timing," should a potential strike by the Screen Actors Guild become a reality in June.

Now, it looks like said strike might coincide with her maternity leave instead.
