Oscar-nominated film star Toni Collette is expecting her first child.
The 34-year-old Australian, whose credits include Little Miss Sunshine and Muriel’s Wedding, said she was “completely over the moon”.
The actress, who is married to musician Dave Galafassi, said it was “strange” that she had played pregnant women in her last three films.
On Saturday, she performed at Sydney’s Live Earth concert with her husband in their rock band The Finish.
The actress and drummer married at a Buddhist ceremony in Sydney four years ago.
“I’m just like, what is the universe trying to tell me?” Collette said of her recent spate of roles as pregnant women.
“But I think everything happens when it’s meant to.”
Collette earned an Academy Award nomination in 1999 for her role in supernatural thriller The Sixth Sense, while her role in offbeat road comedy Little Miss Sunshine gained her Golden Globe and Bafta nods.
