GLEE's Heather Morris Announces Pregnancy

US Magazine reports exclusively that Glee star Heather Morris is expecting her first child. "She's a little more than three months along and starting to show," a source says of the 26-year-old. "It was totally unexpected, but they are incredibly happy and excited."

The baby's father is said to be the star's longtime boyfriend Taylor Hubbell, whom she has known since high school.

Morris plays sweet but spacey cheerleader Brittany Pierce on the long-running FOX musical series. In the past she has commented on her wish to become a mother, telling Fitness Magazine in 2011, "I want to marry Taylor and have kids with him. I love acting, but if it affects my relationship, then I won't continue."

Morris was one of Beyoncé's backup dancers on The Beyoncé Experience world tour and, following that, worked again with Beyoncé on a mini "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" promotional tour that included 2008 performances on the American Music Awards, Saturday Night Live, The Ellen Degeneres Show, Today, and MTV's Total Request Live finale.

She also danced backup for Beyoncé and Tina Turner at the 50th Grammy Awards in 2008. She later appeared in a small role in the movie Fired Up, where she met choreographer Zach Woodlee. Following that film, Woodlee brought Morris in to dance on other shows he was choreographing, including episodes of Eli Stone and Swingtown, the movie Bedtime Stories, and eventually Glee.
