Ethan Hawke expecting baby with girlfriend

Ethan Hawke is expecting a baby with girlfriend Ryan Shawhughes.

The actor's publicist Mara Buxbaum confirmed the news, adding that they were "thrilled".

Hawke began dating Shawcross following his split from wife Uma Thurman in 2004 after six years of marriage.

She had previously worked as a nanny for the couple's daughter Maya Ray, nine, and son Levon Roan, six.

Buxbaum told The Associated Press that no further details would be made available.
