The former _Gossip Girl_ actress [debuted her baby belly](http://www.popsugar.com/celebrity/Pregnant-Leighton-Meester-Pictures-37509192#photo-37509192) while out for lunch with husband [Adam Brody](http://www.people.com/people/news/category/0,,personsTax:AdamBrody,00.html) in Los Angeles on Saturday. It’s no surprise the private couple have yet to confirm they are expecting their first child. After [tying the knot](http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20788104,00.html) in early 2014, Meester, 29, and the former _The O.C._ star, 35, never commented on [their secret nuptials](http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20789359,00.html). But the mom-to-be did hint that a family was in her near future during an interview with _Nylon_ in November. “Most people I know are starting to get married. It’ll be kids next,” she [told the magazine](http://www.nylon.com/articles/nylon-november-cover-leighton-meester). “I like the grown-up stuff. I like having a house. I’ve got dogs.” Meester, who made her Broadway debut in _Of Mice and Men_ last summer, and Brody, who currently stars on [_Billy and Billie_](http://billyandbillie.directv.com/), met on the set in 2011 of _The Oranges_, then costarred together again in 2014’s _Life Partners_.
