KRISTY SWANSON - SWANSON AND EISLER EXPECTING

Actress KRISTY SWANSON and Olympic skater LLOYD EISLER are expecting their first child together. The BUFFY, THE VAMPIRE SLAYER beauty, 36, and Eisler, 43, met on US ice skating show SKATING WITH CELEBRITIES last summer (05), which they won together. While the couple insist they didn't begin dating until December (05), their romance caused a scandal when Canadian Eisler left his pregnant wife MARCIA O BRIEN in November (05) - a month before she gave birth to their second child. Swanson is expected to give birth on Valentine's Day (14FEB07). Eisler has two sons with O'Brien - ETHAN HARLEY, two and baby SETH KEENAN, eight months.
