Oh yes, I said it. I know, I know… *GONG*

I promise I’ll try to avoid any more “Mc” jokes…

Grey’s Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo, 39, and her music producer husband, Chris Ivery, 41, are expecting their first child together. Surprisingly, they avoided using the favorite celebrity phrase “over the moon” in their statement and simply said they are “thrilled” about the news.

Just last year, Ellen told Allure:

“We enjoy our life so much. We go to Europe and sleep in. So when I have the baby, I won’t feel like we’ve missed any fun, reckless times together, like staying up all night drinking champagne and having sex until five in the morning and not having to get up until two in the afternoon. But I’ve got to get on it, because the clock is ticking.”

Don’t worry; you’ll still get up at two o’clock, Ellen! Only it will be two in the morning.
