NEW YORK — Jennifer Garner will be looking forward to next Mother's Day.
Garner is expecting her first child, E! Online is reporting.
According to the report, multiple sources close to Garner and beau Ben Affleck say the actress is three months along and due in November.
The news of the pregnancy comes less than a month after reports surfaced the couple were engaged.
Garner and Affleck have been dating for over nine months, according to People and Star magazines.
According to E! Online, Affleck flew Garner's family from West Virginia to California in April for the actress' 33rd birthday party. The question subsequently was popped in private, E! Online reported.
Citing a "close friend" of Affleck's, People says the "Pearl Harbor" actor had been privately spreading the news for the past month. A friend of Garner's told the magazine in February that she expected Affleck to propose.
Despite being pregnant, E! Online said Garner is still keeping to her schedule this summer. Her next big-screen project, Columbia Pictures' romantic drama Catch and Release, begins its two-month shoot next week in Vancouver, E! Online said.
Affleck was engaged to Jennifer Lopez in 2002, but they called it off in January 2004. As opposed to the ridiculous amount of publicity Affleck got with J.Lo, he and Garner have stayed on the down low.
They met while shooting the action flick "Daredevil," but didn't begin dating until 2004. Their lone public appearance together has been a trip to the 2004 World Series in Boston.
The marriage would be Garner's second. The 33-year-old "Alias" star was divorced from actor Scott Foley in March 2004.
