LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Minnie Driver is pregnant with her first child, the actress revealed Thursday during an appearance on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno."

The 38-year-old-actress made the announcement after Jay had joked that it appeared she was gaining weight from too many buffet trips.

"Are you pregnant?" Jay asked.

And while Minnie said she loves being pregnant, she admitted that there is one part of the process she could do without.

"I don't know why they call it morning sickness. I am sick morning, noon and night," she joked. "But it's a fair trade off."

However, despite being asked by Jay who the father was, Minnie declined to reveal his name.

Over the years, Driver has been romantically linked to the likes of John Cusack, Criss Angel and her "Good Will Hunting" co-star Matt Damon. She was also engaged to Josh Brolin in 2001.

    they have been doing it for years and will continue. And what makes ya'll thing that just because she doesnt name the babby's dad means he wont be there? Get over yourselves and live your own lives as you feel is right. And as the bible says treat your neighbors as you want to be treated and those without sin throw the first stone.....and I know there are no saints sitting here pos

    Funny I see you all wiggin out about minnie D being pregnant but I remember that[ Jessica Alba] either she is not married and just engaged or got married when they found out that she was pregnant. Whatever, who really cares, it's what WE teach our kids in OUR homes that matters. Strong morlas at home will bring about strong morals outside home no matter what out children "SEE&

    why does the fact that it is 2008 make it ok to have a baby out of wedlock? Why do you think our society is going down the toilet? It is sad and pathetic that people have no moral conscious or compass anymore, and all of the world has to suffer the consequences for it.

    Rowan Faye...you are 1 lost in denial person. Everything our kids see & hear factors in to how they grow up. Out kids look up to Hollywood for everything from clothes to hair and how to act. They idolize the celebrities you dingbat...parents can talk all they want, but kids follow where they think it's the coolest & look at everyone reported about here, they are all drun

    And people wonder why America is going down the toilet. People think it's okay to raise a child with one parent, usually the mother who will have NO control over the future men of this world by the time he is a teenager. You people are frickin lost and are obviously NOT parents and have NO clue what's involved in raising a child, male or female. You deserve EVERYTHING that happens
