Stanley Tucci and wife expecting first child

Actor Stanley Tucci and his wife Felicity Blunt are expecting their first child together.

The Hunger Games star confirmed the news to Us Weekly on Sunday (19Oct14), saying, "I'm very excited to be a dad. It's incredible. I'm most excited to have a baby with Felicity and for the baby to be healthy."

Tucci, 53, was introduced to the literary agent by her actress sister and his The Devil Wear Prada co-star Emily Blunt, and they wed in 2012.

This will be Blunt's first child, but the fourth for Tucci, who has three kids with his late wife Kate, who died from breast cancer in 2009.
