Greys Anatomy Eric Dane and wife expecting baby girl

Grey’s Anatomy star Eric Dane and wife Rebecca Gayheart are expecting a baby girl, according to reports.

The happy couple will be thinking pink when their bundle of joy arrives in early 2010.

The 37-year-old actor and Gayheart, 38, shared their good news in September by stepping out in public once her pregnancy bump began to show, but they never formally announced the pregnancy.

Gayheart recently said: “We’ve always wanted to be parents. I think Eric is going to be a wonderful dad and, hopefully, I’ll be a good mum. We’re absolutely looking forward to it.”

However, before news of the pregnancy broke in September, the couple were facing some bad press.

Earlier this year, they were caught up in a sex-tape scandal following the release of a home video, which showed them naked and fooling around with their friend, former beauty queen Kari Anne Peniche.
