Anyone who was a child in the early noughties will remember the Disney Channel classic Even Stevens and although Louis Stephens (aka Shia LaBeouf) is still on the Hollywood circuit, less is known about his former on-screen sister Christy Carlson Romano.

Well according to People, Christy is currently expecting her first child with writer husband Brendan Rooney and what makes the news even cuter is that the baby is due on Christmas Day.

Christy told People: “I am flabbergasted at the serendipity of having a baby on Christmas. It’s our favourite holiday!”

"What a gift we’ll have this year. Feeling so blessed and grateful … and a little nauseous.”

The star married her ex-military husband on New Years Eve 2013 – two years after they met while studying at Columbia University.

Since finishing her role as Ren in Even Stevens, Christy has put her voice to the cartoon character Kim Possible and played Belle in a Broadway production of Beauty and the Beast.
