Wood, 25, and Bell, 26, married on October 30, 2011 in California. Shortly after the wedding, there were rumors that Wood was pregnant. Wood denied them, tweeting in November, “Sorry to disappoint! But no baby on the way here.”
Wood tweeted Friday, “Remember when i said, ‘No baby on the way here’ Well I didn’t know there actually was!” Accompanying the tweet was a photo of What To Expect When You’re Expecting .

The True Blood actress was once described by The Guardian as “ one of the best actresses of her generation .”
