Congratulations are in order for Maria Menounos and her husband Keven Undergaro! The couple are expecting their first child together!

The couple got married in 2017, though they have been together for nearly twenty years. They have been open about trying to build their family for over a decade, and their dreams are now coming true.

The couple's team confirmed the news to People, saying: "Just after a decade of trying everything, we are so grateful to the beautiful family helping us conceive our baby," confirming they are expecting via surrogacy.
