Actor James Marsden is 'expecting a baby' by Brazilian model Rose Costa, just months after splitting from his wife of 11 years.
The X-Men and 30 Rock star started dating 24-year-old Costa shortly after his October break up with Lisa Linde, the mother of his two children Jack and Mary.
According to the New York Post's Page Six, Costa discovered she was pregnant after spending a night in Miami with Marsden.

The Post reports that the model is three-months-pregnant by the star.
Costa previously dated Los Angeles based actor Chris Santos for two years, and he is said to be 'heartbroken' by news of the baby.
A source told the newspaper: 'He loved this girl.'
The insider added that Santos and Costa had originally been living together in Los Angeles before Costa moved to New York to further her modelling career.
She is said to have met Marsden there before they started dating.

However, the newspaper reports that Costa and Santos then got back together, both returning to Los Angeles after he 'won her back.'
A source said: 'They spent the holidays together and got a new apartment.'
But the newspaper alleges that Costa and Marsden then spent the night together during a two day layover in Miami, while she was en route to Brazil, and Marsden happened to be in the Florida City at the same time.

A source told the Post that Costa later 'confessed everything' to Santos which led to their split.
'She told him they hooked up one night, one time,' the insider said, although another source contradicts the story, insisting Costa and Santos had split before she got together with Marsden.
A representative for Marsden, who has recently been playing Liz Lemon's love interest Criss Chros on TV show 30 Rock, has not yet responded to MailOnline when contacted for comment.
