Classic beauty Laura Dern and boyfriend Ben Harper will be doing The Baby Dance as the couple announced they are expecting.

The two have been together for six months, following the abrupt break-up of her engagement to actor Billy Bob Thornton. But the actress proved Afterburn only hurts for a little while.

Due in the fall, it will be a happy October Sky for Laura and Ben. Congratulations!
