The babyboom in Hollywood just added another contestant! Ellen Pompeo and husband Chris Ivery are expecting their first baby together, her rep Jennifer Allen confirms to “People” Magazine.

Per People:

“It’s great news,” says Allen. “They’re ecstatic.”

The “Grey’s Anatomy” star and her husband, who is a music producer, met at a grocery store back in 2003. The couple were married by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg in a low-key ceremony in November 2007. Pompeo has spoken many times in the last year about her desire to have children with Avery. In an October 2008 interview, the 39 year old actress admitted she needed to ‘get on it’ because the ‘clock was ticking.’ No word yet on the babys due date.

Congratulations to the happy couple. Now the big question is, will the pregnancy be written into the show, or will they hide it like co-star Chyler Leigh’s pregnancy?
