Mazel tov! Jeff Goldblum and new wife Emilie Livingston are expecting their first child together.

The happy couple revealed the news during an appearance on “The Late Show With David Letterman” on Friday.

“She’s pregnant!” Goldblum, 62, gushed “She’s three months pregnant.” “She told me the day before we got married that she’s pregnant. It’s a boy,” he added.

Fortunately for the unborn child, Goldblum seems to have veered away from his previous baby name picks. Calling your kid Coda or Mingus is like posting a call to bullies everywhere. “If it stays, our current thinking is Elliot Charlie,” the actor told Letterman.

Goldblum married actress/gymnast Livingston, 31 in November at Los Angeles’ Chateau Marmont.
