Here are some photos of Morena Baccarin and Ben McKenzie making their red carpet couple debut at an Emmys after-party last Sunday. They costar in Fox’s Gotham, where they apparently play love interests (I don’t watch the show, so I’m going by People’s reporting). I didn’t really pay much attention to the fact that these two people got together, although I had one small moment of “Huh, I though her marriage only recently ended?” Turns out it’s even more complicated than that.

Morena’s husband of nearly four years, Austin Chick, filed for divorce from Morena back in July, and he asked for joint custody of their 23-month old son Julius. Let’s be generous and say that the split happened in May or June of this year. Morena’s been single for a total of maybe three full months… although “single” is a relative term, considering the divorce is still pending and nothing has been signed. But Morena has spent her free time bangin’ Ben McKenzie, and now they are expecting their first child together. Girl, you are messy!

Gotham City’s population is growing. Gotham costars Ben McKenzie and Morena Baccarin are expecting their first child together, her rep confirms to PEOPLE.

“She and Ben are very happy about this news,” a source tells PEOPLE. “Everyone is very excited.”

The former Homeland actress is already mom to 23-month-old Julius, her son with estranged husband, director/writer Austin Chick. On Monday, PEOPLE confirmed the parents-to-be were dating after the two were spotted together at multiple events during Emmy Awards weekend, including the Fox party on Sunday, where they were seen holding hands.

This will be the first child for the former O.C. star, 37, while Baccarin, 36, and Chick welcomed their son in 2013 before he filed for divorce in July after three and a half years of marriage.
