Zooey Deschanel shared some exciting news on Tuesday: she's pregnant! The 34-year-old "New GIrl" star is expecting her first child with boyfriend Jacob Pechenik.

The couple, who started dating in mid-2014, confirmed the news to People magazine revealing that the baby boy or girl is due this summer.

"Jacob and I are over the moon. We are so excited to meet our little one," she said.

The actress' sister, Emily Deschanel, is also pregnant and is expecting her second child with husband David Hornsby. Zooey was previously married to musician Ben Gibbard but the two finalized their divorce in 2012.

During a previous interview with Marie Claire, Zooey said she was in no rush to have kids.

"When I was married, that was the first thing people wanted to know. Like every woman is dying to give birth," she said, according to Film News. "I don't think so. Nobody asks a guy that. And you go into a supermarket  and every tabloid is like, 'Pregnant and Alone!' Stuck in this 1950s ideal of how a woman should live her life. That's not something that defines me at all.'

"[Having kids has] never been my focus. My sister was always very motherly, babysitting and stuff. I like kids, and I like being around kids - but it was never an ambition, something, like, I need... I like working. That's what I like doing. I like to work."  

So far, it's not clear if Fox has plans to incorporate Zooey's pregnancy into the show. The fourth season of "New Girl" returned on Jan. 6 after a short winter hiatus.
