Orange Is The New Black star Laura Prepon is pregnant with her first child
The couple have known each other for 18 years!
Orange Is The New Black star Laura Prepon is expecting her first child with fiancée Ben Foster.
The couple are known for being notoriously private and have not spoken out about the happy news themselves yet, with a source confirming the pregnancy to People magazine.
Laura, who is best known for her role as Alex Vause in the Netflix original comedy-drama series Orange Is the New Black, became engaged to Ben back in October.
Now the loved-up pair are expecting a child together, and the sweet news comes just a day after the couple stepped out together at the Creative Coalition's annual Spotlight Awards on the weekend.
An on-looker spoke to People magazine giving some insight into the couple, who by the sounds of things seem very in love, 'Ben seemed really protective and kept very close to Laura the entire night.
'He was holding on to her arm as they walked in and kept by her side during the dinner.'
Laura and Ben stayed very private at the time of their engagement too, choosing not to speak about it or their relationship in the media but to let her sparkler do the talking.
