Emily Deschanel is pregnant with her second child, but younger sister Zooey is not going to be left behind now that she has been confirmed to be pregnant as well. Zooey is expecting her first child with producer boyfriend Jacob Pechenik this summer.
Us Weekly reports a confirmation from Zooey's representative that the "New Girl" star is pregnant, with the baby expected to be out this summer. Zooey, who was revealed to be dating Pechenik after a two-year relationship with screenwriter Jamie Linden, is expecting her first child only now despite being married to Ben Gibbard of "Death Cab for Cutie" until their 2012 divorce, ending their 3-year-marriage.
Zooey and Pechenik walked the red carpet last August, revealing their relationship at the 66th Primetime Emmy Awards held at the Nokia Theatre in California, IB Times reports.
Pechenik himself is not known on-screen, though he is a producer involved with projects such as "The Immigrant," 'Before Midnight," "Jobs," and "The Skeleton Twins."
The 42-year-old also produced the movie "Black and White" featuring Kevin Costner, Today shares.
IMDB has him listed with 20 producer credits, but not much can be seen on his profile. The producer is also apparently not active on his social media accounts. Pechenik does not currently have a Twitter account, whereas Zooey is "an avid Tweeter."
Talking to People magazine, Zooey expressed their excitement over their first child. "Jacob and I are over the moon," Zooey says. "We are so excited to meet our little one," the "She & Him" singer continued.
Even before Zooey's pregnancy has been announced by her representative, the actor has already been seen out and apparently hiding her baby bump.
Meanwhile, big sister Emily is pregnant with her second with actor David Hornsby, with reports suggesting that the "Bones" star is thirsting for lemonade. "Once I get thirsty, I'll want lemonade or a sparkling water. Maybe it is citrus fruits!" Emily revealed to the magazine last month at a party for her TV series.
