Hayden Panettiere is reportedly the latest celeb to join the mommy club.

That's according to Us Weekly. The magazine exclusively reports the pint-sized star is expecting her first child with fiance Wladimir Klitschko: "Hayden is totally pregnant!"

PANETTIERE: "That's how we met. I said, 'You're huge.' He said,'You're tiny.' ... It's God telling us we're too far on either end of the spectrum. We need to make normal people." (Via Warner Bros. Television Distribution / "The Ellen DeGeneres Show")

Obviously, babies have been on the star's brain. Last spring, the 24-year-old actress told Glamour Klitschko, who is 38, would most likely be the future father of her children. 

"I've lived a very big life, and I don't feel my age, and I feel like I was born to be a mother. ... Motherhood is the most beautiful, exciting thing, and there's nothing that I feel like I can't accomplish while having children in my life."

Last month, Panettiere confessed to Parade she and Klitschko put their wedding plans on hold because of the Ukrainian crisis.

 But now, speculation is baby may have had something to do with postponing the nuptials. 

There's also speculation about how Panettiere's pregnancy will affect her just-renewed ABC show "Nashville." Will it be written in or written around? 

We'll just have to wait and see. Panettiere has yet to comment on the big news. (Via Twitter)
