I know what you're saying - "it seems that you keep reporting that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are expecting" - and you would be right. But this time we mean it - we think.

According to several confirmed sources close to the couple, E! Online is reporting that Jen is three months pregnant with Ben's child. It was widely circulated a couple of weeks ago that the couple became engaged, complete with a description of the proposal and ring.

If the reports turn out accurate, the baby should be delivered sometime around November which means that it will be more than a thorn in the side of Garner's hit TV show Alias, scheduled to begin filming the new season in July. As you may recall, Sydney's eggs were harvested during last season's much maligned "two missing years" plotline.

Of course, the show may decide to push back the filming and repeat this season's mid-season debut, especially if Baby Ben comes a little early. If you check out the report we filed on December 16th, and the accompanying photo that had all the tabloids abuzz, you will notice that the pose struck by Jen ressembles a certain Pop Princess after she found out that she was expecting.
