Actress Paula Jai Parker and her husband Forrest Martin are expecting their first child. The couple met in 2004 on the set of Hustle & Flow, where Forrest, who had just graduated with a Master of Fine Arts was working as an intern.

Paula almost passed on shooting the critically-acclaimed movie and only took the part at the urging of her friends. The couple wed 1 year after the film was made.

On her pregnancy, Paula boasted,

"We're so excited. It's too early to tell if it's a boy or a girl."

Congrats to the parents-to-be!
