Blessed be the fruit!

Handmaid's Tale star Yvonne Strahovski is expecting her first child with husband Tim Loden.

The 35-year-old actress announced the exciting news via Instagram on Friday, sharing an adorable pic of herself cradling her baby bump.

"I am very excited to finally be able to share my special news - I'm going to be a Mama!" she captioned it. "So very exciting to watch & feel this little Peanut growing every day!"

Fans of the popular Hulu series had fun in the comments section, discussing the irony over Strahovski's pregnancy news, given the fact that her character on the show, Serena Joy Waterford, is unable to bare children with her husband, Commander Fred Waterford (Joseph Fiennes). But with the help of a handmaid, Offred (Elisabeth Moss), they are gearing up to welcome their first child together in the show's current second season.

"But.. you can't conceive, Mrs. Waterford," one fan wrote, with another joking, "Omg! Serena Joy would be so jealous!!!!"

Congrats to the happy couple!
