JAIME PRESSLY finally confirmed she is expecting a baby with fiance ERIC CUBICHE after initially insisting reports of her impending motherhood were false.

The MY NAME IS EARL beauty confessed she is now four months pregnant to US talk show host JAY LENO on THE TONIGHT SHOW yesterday (15NOV06). Pressly's co-star JASON LEE fuelled speculation surrounding her pregnancy in September (06) by declaring the actress will "be a great mom", and she now admits she had told him about her news.

The 29-year-old said of her initial denial, "I was only a month pregnant so I lied, which is a woman's right." Pressly's doctor has confirmed she will have a boy. She told Leno, "She asked me what I thought I was having and I said a boy. "She looked at the picture and said, 'If that's not a boy that's a third leg.' Of course, Eric says it's because he's Cuban."

Cubiche and Pressly's son will be called DEZI JAMES.
