Actress Ashley Greene, famously known for portraying the role of Alice Cullen in the Twilight series, is going to be a mom! The actress, 35, is expecting her first child with her husband Paul Khoury, an entrepreneur.

“I love you more than I’ve ever loved anything,” the actress began her announcement post on Instagram, which was accompanied by three black and white images of the couple, “and somehow my heart just keeps expanding to love you EVEN more. I cannot wait to watch you share your light, love, and passion with our baby.” Paul shared the same images to his Instagram page and captioned the post, “I find it so amazing that we can make life through love. I’ve never been more in love with you and I’m so ready for this next chapter in our lives. Thank you giving me the best gift in the world.” The couple did not reveal when their little one is due.

The Twilight Effect podcast host opened up to People last month about wanting to start a family. She shared, “My husband and I are both kind of like, it’s going to happen.” At the time, Ashley revealed that she and Paul “can’t wait to be parents.” Now their dreams are coming true!

Ashley and Paul began dating in 2013. The couple became engaged in December of 2016 while they were vacationing in Australia and New Zealand. When announcing her engagement, the Aftermath star shared, “This is the most beautiful moment I could have ever hoped for. You’ve successfully made me the happiest, luckiest woman alive. I can’t wait to show you my unfaltering immeasurable love for the rest of our lives.”

The couple tied the knot in 2018 in San Jose, California. Ashely and Paul each wrote their own vows for their ceremony and, at the time, a source shared with People that the moment “was very emotional and there were definitely some tears.”

Congratulations to Ashley and Paul on the news of their pregnancy! We wish them all the best as they prepare to welcome their first child into the world.
