Minnie Driver is having a baby with the Easter Bunny.

The 'Riches' actress, who has kept the father of her unborn child a secret, saw the funny side of the paternity riddle when asked to reveal the identity of her lover.

Minnie joked as she stroked her baby bump: "It's the Easter bunny. I've never had sex!"

The star was handed a giant jar of olives by a fan as she attended An Evening with The Riches at California's The Paley Center for Media on Friday (18.04.08).

Minnie, who recently revealed she has been craving the Mediterranean snack, told the generous fan: "Thanks for the olives!"

Last week, it was claimed the British actress was expecting her first child with musician Craig Zolezzi, who she has been secretly dating for some time.

A source said: "They've been dating under the radar for more than a year. I think they made it exclusive when Minnie found out she was pregnant.

"She is telling friends she couldn't be happier that they are going to have a baby!"

Minnie confirmed her pregnancy on a US TV talk show earlier this year, but refused to reveal who the father was.

She said: "I figure, I'm the public person, and he can stay private."

The 38-year-old star is believed to be expecting a girl and is due to give birth in August.
