Actress MALIN AKERMAN is pregnant with her first child.

The Watchmen star, 34, and her rocker husband Roberto Zincone will become parents early next year (13), her representative has confirmed to UsMagazine.com.

The couple first met while performing in the band The Petal Stones and the pair wed in Italy in 2007.

Akerman has been busy during the early stages of her pregnancy - she has been filming new movie CBGB, about the fabled New York punk club, in which she portrays Blondie frontwoman Debbie Harry. She also managed to land Zincone a role in the film as Blondie drummer Clem Burke.
