Rachel Bilson's best pal and co-star Jamie King confirmed to Us Weekly that the Hart of Dixie is indeed pregnant.  Bilson and long-time boyfriend Hayden Christensen have yet to comment on the pregnancy since they are currently in Barbados reportedly having their celebratory vacation.

King told the magazine that the 32-year-old Bilson had been talking about having a baby long before the news broke out.  "I was freaking out! I knew she wanted a baby, she wanted it so badly.  She's going to be in such good hands -- she's in a really good space. I'm really thrilled for her," she added in an interview at Annenberg Space for Photography Exhibit Opening in California.

King also shared her experience about filming Hart of Dixie on the last day before her actual delivery. She said that Bilson will be able to learn from the experience.  "She loves James.  She's always bringing him toys.  Just seeing her with my son, I know she's going to be the best mother," King gushed as she shared Bilson's bonding time with her son.  CW's Hart of Dixie is filming Season 4 soon, but the actress is confident that the production will be able to take care of Bilson's bump. 

She added, "I shot until the day before I gave birth, literally, then went back six weeks later... But the blessing was by doing what I love to do it kept me distracted and it kept me active and healthy, and I felt safer being on set because I knew if anything were to happen, my crew and cast would take care of me," King told the magazine.

Meanwhile, Bilson and Christensen, 33, are now in vacation at Barbados with the actress happily showing her baby bump in a bikini. The two met at the set of Jumper in 2007 and have since been a couple.  They got engaged in 2008, went through a three-month split in 2010, and reconciled shortly after.
