Ben is such a private person and now he is in all of the news. I hope he is getting some guidance as well through all of this.

I don't think they had any scenes together on The OC. I think Ben didn't even remember her being on the show then. Funny how a few years later things certainly have changed.

"Gotham" star Morena Baccarin -- who is pregnant with co-star Ben McKenzie's baby -- plans to marry him ... TMZ has learned.

Baccarin is in the middle of a nasty divorce with director Austin Chick. According to legal docs obtained by TMZ, Baccarin says she got pregnant with Ben's baby in June, which she claims was after she separated with Chick. The estranged husband begs to differ and says she got pregnant while they were still together.

Chick filed for divorce, and Morena has already planned her next move. In her legal docs, obtained by TMZ, she says, "Today, I am in a new committed relationship. I am planning to re-marry. Also, I am 3 1/2 months pregnant."

Morena's divorce is bitter. As we reported, Chick says he came to their house in June, only to find Ben freshly showered and playing with their 1-year-old son.

And Morena included texts in her docs to show how bad the situation is ... she texted to Chick, "I'd like to be there alone with Julius [their son]. Please Friday all day and night through Sunday morning."

He responded, "I'd like to run Fox Studios and remake The Sound of Music w an entirely black cast of hip hop artist."

She tells the judge, "This entire situation is not funny to me."

Just some minor tidbits. The husband filed on June 12.

On or around June 12, Ben was on his way back from Japan. He left ahead of the other Gotham cast.

Also, if you look at her pictures, she is no longer wearing what looks like her wedding ring in the May pictures. But prior to that , you can see her with it. I don't know how significant that is.

The irony is that just a few weeks ago, or around Comic Con, we were wondering on this board why the other news outlets weren't picking up on this story. This had been unfolding over the course of several months.
Be careful what you wish for I guess.

Hope Ben is getting some clear headed advice. And perhaps investing in some damage control PR.

First "comment" from a Schenkkan family member.

Camille, Ben's sister in law, tweeted something and Ben retweeted her comment.

Ben is going to be appearing at that Apple Soho event in a few hours and he has his appearance on Seth Meyers' show as well. So that should be interesting.

And not to make light of this very momentous event, but if you go on twitter and read the comments from OC fans, some are pretty funny.

Just do a search for Ryan Atwood.

You can also do a search for Ryan Inara to see more comments.

Thanks for posting that!

Hope you're doing okay Krisz.

OMG, this is something I would never have predicted.
The media will have a field day with this.

I guess they're that far along in their relationship ( pardon the pun)

Morena Baccarin Is Pregnant and Expecting Baby With Ben McKenzie, Gotham Co-Star | E! Online

Morena Baccarin Pregnant With Gotham Costar Ben McKenzie's Baby - Us Weekly


Congrats to the two. Ben's mom will have her first grandchild.

And congrats to Adam Brody and Leighton Meester who just had a baby!

Morena Baccarin -- the "Homeland" star who played Brody's wife -- will go to court today in her divorce case and reveal she's pregnant, and the father is her "Gotham" co-star Ben McKenzie.

Baccarin filed documents Thursday asking the judge to award her full physical custody of her 1-year-old son, because she lives in New York and her estranged husband Austin Chick lives in L.A. ... and because she's pregnant she can't fly.

We're told Baccarin is at the end of her first trimester. Even though she's able to fly now, she wants the judge to make a proactive order since there will come a point where she can't get on planes.

We're told the couple is excited about the new baby.
