Last year was such a busy one for many Hollywood couples with several getting married, divorced, and having babies.
For this year, we have none other than Zooey Deschanel in the spotlight. The New Girl star has just announced through People that she is expecting her first child with Jacob Pechenik. Other than the fact they are "over the moon" with their pregnancy and they cannot wait to see their baby, no other detail has been provided. This is not really surprising since she has always been a very private person. In fact, she has been spotted stepping out all bundled with a coat to perhaps conceal her growing baby bump.
In the meantime, she is sharing her pregnancy with her sister Emily who is the lead star of the hit-long series Bones. She is married to David Hornsby, an actor and writer. This will be her second child.
Not much is known about Deschanel and Pechenik othr than they began dating around two years ago. By then, Deschanel was about a year divorced from Ben Gibbard, the frontman to Death Cab for Cutie.
It is believed that they have met in one of the movies Pechenik produced Rock the Kasbah, which Deschanel starred with Bill Murray and Danny McBride. A picture of them kissing appeared, though their dating was not confirmed until they attended the latest Emmy's sometime in August 2014.
Aside from her quirky sunny personality and 500 Hundred Days of Summer alongside Joseph Gordon Levitt who also recently married, Deschanel is also known for her lifestyle, especially her diet. In 2010, she confessed how she stopped being a vegan despite giving it her best try. She realized it was too limiting since she could not eat wheat or soy. She then went back to going back to her old diet. After all, she simply needs "a little meat."
