We always associate actress Julia Stiles with playing high school students in some of the most popular teen movies of the decade, but she’s grown up a lot since then.
Major congratulations are in order for Julia this week, who revealed yesterday that she is expecting a baby.
Julia’s publicist confirmed to E! News that the actress is pregnant, and her bump was clearly visible as she posed for photos after a radio interview in London. The actress looked beautiful as she showed off her growing bump in a fitted black dress at Magic FM radio studios.
Appearing on This Morning today to talk about her upcoming TV show, Riveria, Julia said she was “very excited and super happy” when hosts Philip Schofield and Holly Willoughby congratulated her on her exciting news.
“You can really see your bump,” Holly exclaimed as Julia cradled her stomach.

Julia is expecting with fiancé Preston J. Cook, whom she met while working on the set of Go With Me.
In true Hollywood fashion, the couple enjoyed a whirlwind romance. After meeting in 2015, Preston proposed on Christmas Eve of that year in the romantic setting of Isla Grande Colombia.
"That's where we got engaged," she told People in 2016. "All around, it was a really wonderful trip. We stayed on an island that was really beautiful, and there was a lot of great snorkelling. The city was really nice, too, but because I live in the city the natural scenery was really great."
An overjoyed Julia later shared a photo to Instagram, of her holding hands with Preston with the sunset in the background. She captioned it: “Best Christmas ever!”
However, the 36-year-old is in no rush to walk down the aisle just yet.
"I'm not getting a tonne of marital advice," she said. "We're really slow on the wedding planning, so I haven't really been soliciting advice. Somebody told me about radical empathy, but I'm still trying to figure out what that means. I'm trying to figure out what makes it radical."
Well, whatever that means, we’re very happy for Julia - such wonderful news!
Her baby is due at the end of the year, so 2018 looks set to be a very exciting year for the actress.
