Sara Gilbert is pregnant
Sara Gilbert just made a big announcement on "The Talk" -- she's pregnant.
The actress and co-host of the CBS daytime talk show is expecting her first child with wife Linda Perry, she revealed Tuesday.
During the "Facing Your Fears" segment for the show's premiere week, Gilbert, 39, explained why she couldn't complete her dare of lying on a bed of nails and having a cinder block broken over her stomach.
"I really do believe in facing your fears and doing things that make you uncomfortable, but I actually can't do the dare because I'm pregnant," Gilbert said, fighting back tears.
"I feel good, I feel really good...at first I was really tired," she added.
The show and Gilbert's co-hosts were quick to share their excitement over the news via Twitter:
