Natalie Zea is going to be a mommy!

The Justified actress is pregnant with her and husband Travis Schuldt's first child, Zea's rep confirmed to E! News Friday.

Zea, 40, showed off her barely-there baby bump Thursday at the Too Late premiere at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). At first glance, the mom-to-be looks as slender and svelte as always, but if you look very closely, you can see the emergence of a tiny belly beneath her stunning orange gown!

Per Us Weekly, who was first to report the news of Zea's pregnancy, the actress and hubby Schuldt's little one is due in the fall.

The couple tied the knot last July on a private residence in Hawaii. Zea and Schuldt, also 40, met on the set of Passions and were together for 11 years before getting married.

Funnily enough, Zea told E! News in Jan. 2014 she thought the proposal was a joke! "He was sweating," she recalled of   "He started sweating…and then got down on a knee and he started saying things, and I thought he was kidding so I was smug for a good five minutes," she recalled Schuldt, who has had roles on shows including Scrubs and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia "I was such a bitch!"

"The moment I realized this wasn't a joke is when he opened the box and there was a ring in it," said Zea, who counts. "I was like, 'Wait a minute, what is happening? What is going on right now?'"

That's a cute story to tell their future kiddo someday!
