The blonde beauty, who can next be seen in The Predator, wrote in her caption, 'I am very excited to finally be able to share my special news – I’m going to be a Mama! ❤️

'So very exciting to watch & feel this little Peanut growing every day! ❤️❤️❤️.'

She has been in Australia filming the movie Angel Be Mine where last week she showed off a baby bump; it was believed at the time the bump may have been for her role.

On The Handmaid's Tale she portrays a woman haunted by her struggle to conceive.

The beauty told Stellar magazine recently that she wants to start a family with her spouse.

'It's definitely something I want for my future,' she said.

'[Playing her character on Handmaid's Tale] has made me wary of starting that process. I just always imagine if I have a child at work - screaming at people or throwing things around - how on earth will that affect something growing inside of me?'

Currently living with Loden and their two dogs in Malibu, the University of Western Sydney's Theatre Nepean graduate first made the giant leap to Los Angeles in 2007 after starring in local productions in Australia.
