US Magazine reveals that Stanley Tucci and Felicity Blunt, sister of actress Emily Blunt, are expecting their first child together. Tucci revealed the news to the site at last night's Mario Batali Foundation Dinner at New York's Del Posto.

Gushed the 53-year-old, "I'm very excited to be a dad. It's incredible. I'm most excited to have a baby with Felicity and for the baby to be healthy." He added, "The sex is of no concern to me. The sex of the baby, that is."

Asked what kind of mother he believes his wife will be, the 'Hunger Games' star offered, "A great one!"

The couple met when Emily Blunt and Tucci were working on 'The Devil Wears Prada'. The twosome revealed in 2012 that they had secretly married. This baby will be the first child for Blunt. Tucci has three children with his late wife, Kate, who passed away from breast cancer in 2009.

Tucci made his Broadway debut in The Queen and the Rebels on September 30, 1982. Tucci is known for his work in films such as The Pelican Brief, Kiss of Death, Road to Perdition and Big Night, and in the television series Murder One as the mysterious Richard Cross.

He also received a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination for Winchell. He was nominated for Broadway's Tony Award as Best Actor in a Play for his role as Johnny in the 2002 revival of Terrence McNally's Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune.
