Uma Thurman and her partner Arpad Busson are expecting their first child together.

A representative for the 41-year-old announced the news to People magazine in the States on 27 February, while her manager, Jason Weinberg, has today confirmed the story to the Mail Online.

The Kill Bill star, who will welcome her first child with financier Busson later this year, already has a daughter, Maya, 13, and a son, 10-year-old Levon, with her former husband, Ethan Hawke.

Busson also has two children himself from his relationship with supermodel Elle Macpherson, Arpad Flynn Alexander and Aurelius Cy Andrea.

Thurman and Busson began dating back in 2007. They split briefly in 2009, before reuniting and have been together ever since, gracing a number of public events together, including a party for Prince William and Kate Middleton at Kensington Palace.

Uma will next appear on screens in the NBC series Smash, alongside Katharine McPhee, Anjelica Houston and Debra Messing.

She is due to appear in five episodes of the Steven Spielberg-produced US show, which focuses on a group of people putting together a musical about the life of Marilyn Monroe.

Smash is due to air on Sky Atlantic early this year.
