As well as being nominated for Golden Globe this week, Keira Knightley also found out she is going to be a mother. The British actress is reportedly pregnant with her and husband, musician James Righton, first child together.

News that the happy couple, who tied the knot last year in a small ceremony in France, will become first-time parents was announced to People magazine by a source apparently close to the pair.

Knightley, who received the Golden Globe nod for her role in 'The Imitation Game,' has been at the centre of pregnancy speculation for some time now, but since her figure is slim and small, it would be hard to identity a baby bump just through photographs.

But if she is in fact pregnant, many fans of hers would be happy to learn Knightley is definitely going to be a working mother.

"I remember doing interviews, and people would ask, as if it was a joke, 'So you mean you are a feminist?' As though feminism couldn't be discussed unless we were making fun of it. I don't want to deny my femininity," she told Vanity Fair in 2012. "But would I want to be a stay-at-home mother? No. On the other hand, you should be allowed to do that, as should men, without being sneered at."
