Ethan Hawke and his girlfriend Ryan Shawhughes are expecting their first child together.

"I can confirm and they are thrilled," Hawke's rep tells the Associated Press. "No further details will be made available."

The two met after Shawhughes began working as a nanny for Hawke's two children, Maya, 9, and Levon, 6, whom he has with his ex, actress Uma Thurman.

Hawke wed Thurman in 1998.

She filed for divorce in 2004 after reports surfaced that he cheated on her.

He's not the first and won't be the last. Robin Williams married his nanny. I think he was married to his first wife when he and the nanny began dallying.

Knocking up the nanny? That just seems wrong on so many levels...

Jan - At least he didn't knock her up while he was having the affair with her that cost his marriage. that would have been such bad timing....lol. Least he knows she'll be able to tak ecare of the kids...and will get a discount on services to boot! Sounds like the best of both worlds! haha!
