Hollywood's ever-expanding baby brigade has a surprising new member. People reports Jessica Alba is awaiting the pitter-patter of little feet with longtime boyfriend Cash Warren.

"I can confirm that Jessica and Cash are expecting a baby in late spring, early summer," her rep tells the mag.

The fame-mismatched flames have been an item for three years, hooking up on the set of "The Fantastic Four" (she starred as spandex-encased Sue Storm; he was an assistant to the director).

A glowing and noticeably more robust Alba, 26, looked lovey-dovey with Warren, 28, on Sunday night as they took in a Los Angeles Lakers game, locking lips and cuddling up in their courtside seats. The day before, they were snapped doing some mattress shopping.

But it was a different story back in July, when the low-key couple was hit with a spate of breakup talk. Us claimed the starlet had given Cash the heave-ho by phone, ostensibly over commitment issues, but within weeks they were spotted out together engaging in plenty of PDA.

"My parents taught me about unconditional love, because you have your ups and downs, but you stick through it," Jessica said in the June issue of In Style. "I learned a lot from that, and I know that kind of love is possible ... My parents made a forever commitment, and I know that's what I want."

She also revealed her desire to be a mom, although she said she'd prefer to share the poopie diaper duty.

"I'm not the easiest person to hang with," Alba admitted to the magazine. "I'm away a lot, and it's an unconventional life. But if I could find a partner, that would be best. I probably won't have kids without one."
