Alicia Silverstone has, like, so totally grown up.
The actress, who shot to fame as the ditzy, fashion-forward 16-year-old rich kid in the hit 1995 movie "Clueless," is pregnant. The star's rep confirmed to People that Silverstone and her husband of five years, musician Christopher Jarecki, are expecting their first child together. The star has also been spotted tooling around Los Angeles in casual gear, sporting her growing baby bump.
Silverstone, who has stayed busy since her Cher days appearing in the Broadway play "Time Stands Still" and writing the cookbook "The Kind Diet," said last year that she has been eagerly anticipating motherhood.
"I've been wanting to have a baby since I was 2 years old," she told People. "I'm destined to be a mother."
Silverstone also said she loved portraying a pregnant woman onstage in "Still": "Wearing a pregnancy suit was so much fun," she said. "I loved the feeling of pretending to be pregnant and having little arms and legs and this big belly."
In addition to expanding her family, Silverstone has some professional projects on the horizon and will reunite with "Clueless" writer/director Amy Heckerling for the upcoming flick "Vamps." Silverstone will star opposite Sigourney Weaver and Krysten Ritter as a young vampire with a taste for blood and New York nightlife.
Silverstone also will appear in the upcoming flick "Butter," alongside Hugh Jackman, Jennifer Garner, Olivia Wilde and Ty Burrell from ABC's "Modern Family." The film tells the story of a young orphan (Yara Shahidi) who displays a talent for crafting butter sculptures — a development that threatens to derail the dreams of Garner's character, who is set on winning a butter-carving competition in a small Midwestern town.
