Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen have jetted off on a babymoon.
The couple, who confirmed this week that they are expecting their first child later this year, were spotted soaking up the sun in Barbados on Thursday (22.05.14).
The petite 'Hart of Dixie' actress proudly showed off her tiny new baby bump, as she strolled along the beach in a black bikini during their romantic getaway.
The couple looked closer than ever as they played in the sea together, and the actress looked very happy as she cuddled up to her long-term boyfriend in the water, according to UsMagazine.com.
A spokesperson for the former 'The O.C.' star confirmed she is pregnant earlier this week shortly after rumours began swirling she was set to become a mother.
A source close to the 32-year-old beauty previously said: "They've both talked about this for awhile and are so excited. Everyone is beyond thrilled for them."
Friends are delighted for the couple and think they will be "wonderful" parents.
Another pal added: "They will make wonderful, hands-on parents."
Rachel admitted last year she was keen to start a family with the 'Star Wars' actor.
She said: "I definitely have family on the brain. Having kids is something I want to see in my future - I hope."
Rachel and Hayden, 33, met in 2007 on the set of 'Jumper' and got engaged a year later.
However, they called off their engagement in August 2010 but reconciled three months later.

John Travolta and Kelly Preston helped a friend propose at a charity gala in Antibes, France.
The couple, who've been married for 23 years, were on hand to assist his 'Gummy Bear the Movie' director Oscar Generale as he got down on bended knee and popped the question to his model girlfriend, Denny Mendez, on the grey carpet at the amfAR's 21st Cinema Against AIDS Gala on Thursday night (22.05.14).
The high profile duo looked "elated" when the bride-to-be said yes.
Meanwhile, Leonardo DiCaprio raised $1 million at the event by auctioning off a trip to space with him in 2015, helping organisers raise a record $38 million for HIV/AIDS research.
The 39-year-old 'Wolf of Wall Street' actor was spotted kissing his girlfriend Toni Garrn, 21, passionately after the auction at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, despite rumours they had recently split.
Other guests at this year's gala included Jane Fonda, Jessica Chastain, Marion Cotillard, Rosario Dawson, Justin Bieber, Michelle Rodriguez, Heidi Klum, Karlie Kloss, Sharon Stone, Irina Shayk and Lara Stone.
An original work of contemporary artist Damien Hirst sold for $15 million, while a 1967 painting of actress Marilyn Monroe by Andy Warhol raised $477,000 for the charity.

Adam Levine hosts bachelor party in Las Vegas


Adam Levine held his bachelor party in Las Vegas this week.
The Maroon 5 frontman - who is set to wed Behati Prinsloo later this year - headed to the gambling capital following 'The Voice' USA finale, where he was joined by a group of around 50 male friends.
They ate at the N9NE Steakhouse on Wednesday night (21.05.14) and were in high spirits socialising with other diners.
A source told People magazine: "Everyone in the restaurant recognised him. He was saying hello and chatting with everybody in the restaurant."
The group stayed at the Palms Casino Resort's Hardwood Suite in a 10,000 sq ft room which came complete with a private dancefloor, 24-hour butler service and indoor basketball court.
The 'Voice' USA coach recently ditched his brown locks for an eye-catching peroxide blonde style last week and, although he likes his new style, he insists will dye it back before his nuptials.
He explained: "I'm probably gonna have to get rid of this before the wedding happens. I love my hair but it's not gonna be this way forever - trust me. I'm gonna have to change it back for something or other. I'm enjoying it."

Heidi Klum feels ‘free’ when nude


Heidi Klum feels "free" when she's naked.
The 41-year-old supermodel admits she regularly lies in the sun topless because she hates tan lines, and she has always comfortable stripping off in public because her parents took her to nudist beaches was growing up.
In an interview in Us Weekly magazine, the German beauty said: "People laugh when I say this, but I grew up going to nude beaches with my parents. It was very free. I took my top off, and I still do. I don't like to have tan lines on my boobs."
Heidi is considered to be one of the world's most beautiful women, and works hard to stay looking great.
But the 'America's Got Talent' judge insists she isn't "ageless" and can notice a difference in her body and looks.
She said: "If you put me a 20 year old next to me, of course you see a difference, but that's normal. I'm not trying to be like, 'I'm 20!' Because I'm not."
Heidi - who has four children, Leni, nine, Henry, eight, Johan, seven, and Lou, four, who she jointly raises with her ex-husband Seal - is very strict with her diet and exercises regularly to maintain her trim figure, but has stopped weighing herself.
The catwalk queen - who is currently in a relationship with 27-year-old art dealer Vito Schnabel - said: "I go up and down at times, which is tricky for my stylist. It's like, 'Oopsie!' But we just take the dress out. My scale ran out of batteries a year ago, and I never put new ones in."

Drew Barrymore was made late for work by a herd of elephants when shooting her latest movie 'Blended'.
The 39-year-old actress - who plays single parent Lauren Reynolds in the romantic comedy - struggled to get to the set of the film in South Africa when her car's path was blocked by the huge mammals.
During an interview with John Stewart on 'The Daily Show', she said: "I was late for work one time because there was a herd of elephants blocking the road ... it was so the dog ate my homework. What were we supposed to do infuriate them? We were way outnumbered here in our small car ... there's 10 elephants. I'm going to wait until they pass."
The Golden Globe-winner - who has two daughters, 21-month-old Olivia and one-month-old Frankie, with her consultant husband Will Kopelman - described the "extraordinary" moment she got introduce her then six-month-old daughter Olivia to the herd.
She said: "I did take her out every weekend to see different animals and I also realised that all of my stress was inevitably leading to this extraordinary life experience where I'm standing with my kid and there's fifty elephants rolling by and I'm like, 'Wow! I was not thinking about this option when I thought about all the hard gnarly things that could occur. This is cool!'"
'The Daily Show' airs in the UK tonight at 11.40pm on Comedy Central Extra.

The 39-year-old star has sold the chance to be his intergalactic travel companion at this year's amfAR Cinema Against AIDS Gala, at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in the South of France, for the whopping sum.
The 'Wolf of Wall Street' star - who was cited in the auction's programme as a 'Mystery Guest' - will accompany the unnamed winning bidder into outer space on Virgin Galactic sometime next year.

Prince Harry records rap at Nottingham youth centre


Britain's Prince Harry tried his hand at rapping on Thursday (22.05.14).
The fun-loving royal made a surprise visit to the Russell Youth Club in St Ann's, Nottingham, to make music with local youngsters.
The visit came as a shock since staff at the club's Community Recording Studios were scheduled to meet with representatives from the prince's Royal Foundation and weren't expecting Harry to turn up in person, the Nottingham Post is reporting.
The 29-year-old star reportedly got stuck in and had fun with the kids recording raps and belting out songs in the studio.
A Kensington Palace spokesperson confirmed the visit had been a private affair.
This was the second time Harry had visited the youth centre, which has received financial backing from the Royal Foundation to help with its projects.
After meeting with the prince last year, a youngster said: "He was actually really, really nice. I didn't expect him to be like that. I expected him to be all proper, but he was just normal."
Harry set up the Royal Foundation alongside his brother Prince William and his sister-in-law Duchess Catherine in September 2009 as the main vehicle for their philanthropic activities, with a special focus on helping the Armed Forces, young people and conservation.

Eliza Doolittle writing new music in Miami


Eliza Doolittle has been in Miami writing new music.
The 'Big When I Was Little' singer, who decided to jet off to America for a writing trip, is working on the follow-up to her 2013 record 'In Your Hands' and has been inspired by being in the sun.
Eliza told BANG Showbiz: "[I've been] writing lots and lots, at home and on trips, like Miami now.
"I'm not sure what and when I'll be releasing [anything] exactly but I'm very excited about new music."
Asked what inspires her when it comes to writing, she said: "I'm inspired all the time by interesting people, conversations, films, books, and sometimes just my own heart and guts. I'm always writing things down in my notepad or in my phone. I guess there's always a little pressure but pressure can be great. As long as it's positive I always try to put good pressure on myself to be my best."
Meanwhile, the 26-year-old star appears in Malibu's new Best Summer Ever video with MTV presenter Lilah Parsons and best friends Jessica Napier and Violetta Thalia, speaking about her summer memories and when she first experienced heart ache while on holiday.
In the promo, she told the girls: "I remember fancying a break dancer in the club, and I got heartbroken for one of the first times, if not the first time, because he kissed me and then three hours later on the same night in the club he was kissing someone else."
Talking about her plans for this summer and the festival season, she also told BANG Showbiz: "I'm gonna be working hard to get new music but i'm still hoping to squeeze a little summer holiday in somehow!
"I'm playing a couple of my own [festivals] and a couple with Disclosure this summer. At Glastonbury I'm definitely gonna be a punter as well as performing. It all depends on the time I'm playing though ... nothing can get in the way of a good show!"

Jack White: I almost never speak to Meg


Jack White admits he "almost never" speaks to his former bandmate Meg White.
The ex-White Stripes singer, whose band called it a day in 2011, has since forged his own successful solo career and claims hardly anybody he knows speaks to drummer Meg since the band split.
He told Rolling Stone magazine: "I don't think anyone talks to Meg. She's always been a hermit. When we lived in Detroit, I'd have to drive over to her house if I wanted to talk to her, so now it's almost never."
Talking about how Meg's personality came to affect the pair's relationship, Jack explained: "She's one of those people who won't high five me when I get the touchdown. "She viewed me that way of, 'Oh, big deal, you did it, so what?' Almost every single moment of the White Stripes was like that. We'd be working in the studio and something amazing would happen, I'm like, 'Damn, we just broke into a new world right there!' And Meg's sitting in silence.
"I remember hearing Ringo Starr say, 'I always felt sorry for Elvis, because in The Beatles we had each other to talk about what it felt like. Elvis was by himself.'
"I was like, 'Shit, try being in a two-piece where the other person doesn't talk!'"
But despite their differences, he praised Meg's talent and stage presence and how the pair worked together to become a successful duo selling millions of records, having formed the band in 1997.
He said: "I would often look at her onstage and say, 'I can't believe she's up there.' I don't think she understood how important she was to the band, and to me and to music. She was the antithesis of a modern drummer. So childlike and incredible and inspiring. All the not-talking didn't matter, because onstage, nothing I do will top that."
Jack's new album, 'Lazaretto', will be released on June 9.

Kimberley Walsh’s theatrical new duet


Kimberley Walsh says her new song 'The Road' was a breath of fresh air.
The Girls Aloud star has teamed up with Alistair Griffin on a new duet which she believes was better suited to her theatrical style of singing than her former girl band pop anthems.
She exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "It's a different sound to anything I've done before, which was nice. It's a great song to sing, it's a little bit more theatrical than Girls Aloud songs. It was more suited to me, it was a change."
However, Kimberley - who is expecting her first child with her long-term partner Justin Scott - had a tough time shooting the music video in the freezing Yorkshire countryside since she was nursing a broken wrist.
She laughed: "It could have been easier circumstances, it looks nice but it actually was cold, we were in the middle of nowhere. The wrist was not healed, but I managed to get them to take the cast off for the video.
"So I had to be really careful, walking around like I had a broken wing and supporting it whenever I could!"
The 'Biology' hitmaker sustained her injury when she took a tumble and tried to protect the baby at all costs.
Kimberley explained: "I fell on a mat that didn't have any rubber and because I'm pregnant I just panicked and tried to protect the baby, so I took my whole weight on my wrist. It's one of those things, it's almost back to normal now."
The track is the official anthem for Yorkshire's Grand Depart - The Tour De France and Kimberley is looking forward to getting into the sporting spirit this summer.
She added: "I'm not a keen cyclist myself but I will be following the Grand Depart especially since it's going through my hometown of Yorkshire. And the fact that its here is a big thing. I think I'll get into the spirit of it all!"
'The Road' will be released on June 30 through Elbow Grease Records. The video for the single can be seen at www.youtube.com/watch?v=DagQili02Qk. Alistair releases his new album 'From Nowhere' on July 7.

BBC commissions David Walliams’ Boy in the Dress


David Walliams' children's book 'The Boy in the Dress' will be adapted for the TV.
The 42-year-old comedian's first story will be dramatised by BBC One in time for Christmas 2014, following in the footsteps of his previous festive offerings 'Mr Stink' and 'Gangsta Granny'.
Kevin Cecil and Andy Riley will join David in adapting the hour-long special, which tells the story of a 12-year-old cross-dressing boy and the thoughts and feelings of his friends and family.
David said: "I am over the moon that my first novel for children is going to be on BBC One at Christmas. I was very pleased with the adaptations of 'Mr Stink' and 'Gangsta Granny', and I trust 'Boy in the Dress' will delight and surprise a family audience."
BBC Controller, Shane Allen - who commissioned the show - said: "'Boy in the Dress' is a very touching, hilarious and poignant story of why being different is something to celebrate. As with David's other novel adaptations I have no doubt this will attract an exceptional cast and be a special Christmas treat for all the family."
David's previous offerings pulled in high ratings for the channel with 'Mr Stink' attracting over seven million viewers in 2012 and 'Gangsta Granny' reaching 7.3 million viewers last year.

Emma Willis and Rylan go naked together


Emma Willis and Rylan Clark have become such good friends they're able to be naked around each other.
The 'Big Brother' presenters hit it off when Rylan won the January 2013 series of 'Celebrity Big Brother' and they've now formed a close bond after working together on ' Big Brother's Bit on the Side'.
Rylan explained: "She's my Wonder Woman, definitely. I walk into Emma's dressing room in my pants after I have a spray tan or whatever. Then Emma tries to do the ladylike thing and walks into the bathroom to get changed.
"But while I'm sitting there gossiping with her make-up artist or her hair stylist, the door will fly open and out comes Emma, pants halfway down and she goes, 'Ooh, I know!' and joins in the gossip. There's no censor with me and Emma any more."
The flamboyant star also revealed mum-of-two Emma - who has children Isabelle, four, and Ace, two, with husband Matt Willis - has a "filthy" vocabulary which she only ever uses on the 'Big Brother' companion show.
He told The Sun newspaper: "She's filthy! God, she's so rude. Emma's like a split personality. She's all 'good' on the main show one minute, then she comes on 'BOTS' and is like, 'F***ing hell!', and that's why it's such a great show."
Emma - who fronts both the main show and the spin-off - added: "Because I've got kids, I've got my mouth where I know not to swear and that's the same on TV. But then I've got my late-night mouth where I can let loose."
