Jackson Rathbone, Twilight’s Jasper Hale, Expecting First Child with Girlfriend

Jackson Rathbone, best known for his role as Jasper Hale in the ‘Twilight Saga’ movie series, is going to have a little milk-sucker of his own.

Rathbone, 27, and girlfriend Sheila Hafsadi are expecting their first child, according to an Us Weekly report.

“The couple is thrilled and excited to be expecting their first child,” a rep for Rathbone told the magazine.

Rathbone and Hafsadi, 24, a burlesque dancer who is said to be five months pregnant, reportedly met at one of his band’s (100 Monkeys) performances and have already been busy preparing for the baby. A source told the magazine that the actor/musician recently traded in not one, but two of his vehicles for a hybrid SUV in order to have more room for a growing family.

In addition to preparing for the arrival of his first child, Rathbone will have a jam-packed 2012 with the release of “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2? on November 16, along with the potential release of several diverse film projects: “Cowgirls ‘N Angels,” “Zombie Hamlet,” the dramedy musical “DaZe: Vol. Too – NonSeNse” and “Live At The Foxes Den.”

In other Twilight news, Rathbone recently admitted he would love to reprise his role of Jasper for even more ‘Twilight Saga’ films in the future.

“They are always discussing it, it depends how they would go about it,” Jackson explained. “I have loved my character and I have loved playing Jasper through the years, so if there is an extension of playing Jasper – more so in his own element, maybe go back in time and do a vampire western, show Jasper where he came from – I would be down for that. I would sign up for that.”
