Charlie Sheen is about to experience a baby mama without the drama...for now.

E! News has confirmed that the Two and a Half Men star is expecting his first child with wife of three months Brooke Mueller.

"Brooke and I are thrilled!" the Emmy nominee said in a statement. "She's the best stepmom Sam, Lola and Cassandra could ever hope for.

"Seeing her love and affection with those three, I know she'll be an amazing mom. Unless I bat 100 percent, perhaps a boy awaits us."

It will be the first child for real-estate agent Mueller and the fourth child for Sheen, who, as has been well documented in Los Angeles Superior Court, already has two daughters with ex-wife Denise Richards, as well as an adult daughter from a previous relationship.

There's no word yet on a due date for Mueller or how far along the new Mrs. Sheen is in her pregnancy.

The 31-year-old mother-to-be has been with the 42-year-old actor for more than two years. The duo tied the knot in an intimate backyard ceremony in Los Angeles on May 30.

The new addition shouldn't cause any financial strain for the papa. Earlier this month, Sheen ranked as the highest paid comedic actor on television, earning a per-episode payday of $825,000.

Sheen currently maintains visitation rights with Sam, 4, and Lola, 3, his daughters with Richards.

He also has a 23-year-old daughter, Cassandra, with Paula Profitt.
