A picture is worth a thousand words — or at least one statement from a publicist — when it comes to Zoe Saldana and her, well, growing midsection. The actress showed up to the red carpet premiere of her new film Guardians of the Galaxy sporting a tight dress that showed off a baby bump. 
A rep for the actress confirmed the happy news to E! Online on Wednesday. This will be the first child for Saldana and her husband, artist Marco Perego. The couple tied the knot last summer.
Before her surprise wedding to Perego, Saldana raised a few eyebrows by telling Marie Claire, "I might just end up with a woman, raising my children." Looks like the Nina actress took a more traditional route after all.
Congratulations to Saldana and her growing family!
