“Scandal” star, Kerry Washington is expecting her first child with NFL player husband, Nnamdi Asomugha.

Citing a report by Us Weekly, the New York Daily News said that Washington, known best for her role as Olivia Pope in the hit TV series, is four months pregnant.

The actress has successfully kept her personal life under wraps and explained in a recent interview with Glamour why she wants things private.

"I learned through experience that it doesn't work for me," Washington was quoted as telling Glamour by the NYDN.

Recalling how things had been different with her years back and her life was an open secret, Washington then pointed out the turning point when she decided it is best to keep things to herself.

Washington said, "I've had earlier times in my career when I did talk about it. But I couldn't just turn around and say, 'I only want to talk about the good stuff, but not the bad stuff.' So I just thought, 'Okay, no more.'"

Washington and Asomugha surprised fans with news that they tied the knot in summer this year. The celebrity couple, who apparently began dating since 2012 got married in Hailey, Idaho on June 24, 2013.
