Skater Lloyd Eisler, who left his pregnant wife Marcie back in Canada last February, pulled the rug out from under her with his clandestine romance with the former Buffy The Vampire Slayer star, Kristy Swanson.

O達rien went ballistic in the media, and publicly blamed the affair between the Skating With Celebrities winners for ending her marriage.

Marcie told Star magazine "I was shocked, upset and betrayed," she was four months pregnant when Eisler left home in August to film the pre-taped Fox reality show that premiered in January.

的 should have trusted my instincts." Said O達rien.  According to the Star, O'Brien began to suspect that her husband was having an affair with Swanson when she flew out to Los Angeles to visit him while the show was taping.

"Everyone knew there was something going on. It was obvious they were together," an on the set source told People magazine after O'Brien's allegations first broke in February. 

Now, nine months after O達rien gave birth to the former couple's second child, Eisler and his former Skating With Celebrities partner and girlfriend Kristy Swanson have announced that they are pregnant.   According to the couple, Swanson is due around Valentine's Day.

People magazine reports: "We wanted to wait until I completed the first trimester to officially announce our pregnancy," Swanson said in a statement released by publicist Cheryl Kagan. "Lloyd and I are thrilled and wanted to share the wonderful news."

Eisler and O'Brien formally signed their separation agreement on November 30. Eisler and Swanson have denied that their relationship began before Eisler and his wife were separated. "They met and spent time together as ice skating partners when they taped for Fox痴 Skating With Celebrities," Kagan told the Canadian paper the Whig-Standard back in February. "They started dating after Lloyd officially separated from his wife and they are very happy."

Despite Eisler's denials, O'Brien has continued to insist that his claim that his relationship with Swanson only began after they separated is not true.

Star magazine reported that Swanson allegedly forwarded O'Brien a "steamy e-mail" that Eisler had sent Swanson to O達rien. After that, Eisler reportedly "eventually admitted" to the affair. "I told him, 'One of us is leaving this house because we cannot continue together.'"

O'Brien told the Star. "Lloyd left on November 5th."

The new baby will be Swanson's first and Eisler's third. In addition to his 8-month-old son Seth, Eisler also has a 2-year-old son, Ethan, from his three-year marriage to Marcie O'Brien.
