Marcia Cross is pregnant with first child

By Stone Martindale Sep 7, 2006, 3:47 GMT

Desperate Housewives Marcia Cross is pregnant with her first child, her publicist confirms. Cross, 44, came out of the gates quickly after exchanging vows with first husband, 48-year-old stockbroker Tom Mahoney. She is due in April, when Housewives will be wrapping the third season.In 2005, Cross told USA Today: "I don't like the average woman being misled into thinking that fertility is something that goes on forever," said Cross. "When a woman gets older, they get a donor egg, which doesn’t make the baby any less beautiful or perfect. One's own eggs only last so long, and sometimes at 43 or 44 you can have your own baby, but statistically it's very difficult and expensive. You don't want to wait that long." According to ABC, producers were deciding how to incorporate Cross' pregnancy into the storyline. In the Oct. 1 show, the second episode of the new season, the actress' character, uptight Bree, will wed Kyle MacLachlan's mysterious and potentially dangerous Orson. Season 3 of ABC's Desperate Housewives premieres Sept. 24.
