Hayden Panettiere was spotted on vacation with fiancé Wladimir Klitschko this week where she debuted her burgeoning baby bump.

The 24-year-old starlet has been dating Klitschko on-and-off since 2009. Now, Panettiere and the 38-year-old Ukrainian boxer are set to become parents.

Over the weekend, the happy couple enjoyed a day on the ocean in St. Tropez where Panettiere donned a one-piece bathing suit, according to E! News. While the "Nashville" star was swimming, the actress debuted a small but visible baby bump, confirming the news that she is indeed pregnant.

Reports of Panettiere's pregnancy arose earlier this month, but she nor her groom-to-be have commented on the baby news.

"Hayden is totally pregnant," a source close to the actress told Us Weekly.

The pregnancy news arrives shortly after Panettiere admitted her desire to start a family.

"I've lived a very big life, and I don't feel my age, and I feel like I was born to me a mother," the actress told Us Weekly. "Sometimes people speak about [having kids] like, 'Your life ends- you're never going to be able to do anything again!' And I'm like, 'What are you talking about?' Motherhood is the most beautiful, exciting thing, and there's nothing that I feel like I can't accomplish while having children in my life."

Meanwhile, Panettiere joins a long list of other Hollywood starlets that are currently expecting their first child, including Rachel Bilson. Similar to Panettiere, Bilson was spotted on a tropical vacation with fiancé Hayden Christensen recently where she debuted a burgeoning baby bump. Looking relaxed and happy, the 32-year-old actress was photographed in Barbados indulging her appetite on sandwiches and soda in between trips to the beach, all while casually clad in denim jeans and a loose-fitting tank tops and sandals, according to the Daily Mail.

"They've both talked about this for a while and are so excited," a source close to Bilson revealed of her pregnancy. "Everyone is beyond thrilled for them. They will make wonderful, hands-on parents."

Furthermore, Mila Kunis is also expecting her first child with fiancé Ashton Kutcher, as is model Stacy Keibler and husband Jared Pobre, among many other expectant stars in Hollywood.
