Actress Bryce Dallas Howard is pregnant.

The daughter of "Da Vinci Code" director Ron Howard is expecting her first child with actor husband Seth Gabel.

Bryce confirmed the happy news at the UK premiere of her new movie, "Lady in the Water," last night (08.08.06). She said, "I can't talk about the pregnancy too much. I'm a little superstitious."

Tom Hanks has employed extra bodyguards over fears for his family's safety.
