Newlyweds EVAN RACHEL WOOD and JAMIE BELL are expecting their first child.

The Ides of March star, who quietly tied the knot with Bell last October (12), is pregnant and due to give birth later this year (13).

A representative for the beauty tells UsMagazine.com, "The couple is thrilled."

The news comes as a surprise to fans - last November (12) Wood, who previously dated shock rocker Marilyn Manson, shot down rumors she was set to become a mom after she was photographed tenderly touching her stomach, while wearing a baggy top. She wrote in a post on Twitter.com, "Sorry to disappoint. But no baby on the way here."
