Kerry Washington and her husband, former NFL cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha, are reportedly expecting their first child. Reports say the 36 year old Scandal star is about four months along.
The news follows weeks of speculation about a possible pregnancy. Washington and Asomugha married in a small, private ceremony in Hailey, Idaho, on June 24, and the couple has kept details of their relationship almost entirely out of the public eye. Neither has publicly confirmed the pregnancy.
That privacy is by design. In a recent interview with Glamour, Washington explained why she no longer talks about her personal life. “I learned through experience that it doesn’t work for me,” she said. “I’ve had earlier times in my career when I did talk about it. But I couldn’t just turn around and say, ‘I only want to talk about the good stuff, but not the bad stuff.’ So I just thought, ‘Okay, no more.'”
The news comes as Washington is in the middle of a huge year. She is starring as Olivia Pope in the third season of ABC’s Scandal and earned her first Emmy nomination for the role this year.
