Liev Schreiber and girlfriend Taylor Neisen are expecting their first child together.
DailyMail.com has exclusively learned that the couple of five years have excitedly started sharing news of 31-year-old Neisen's pregnancy.
It will be Neisen's first baby and a third child for Schreiber who already has sons, Alexander 'Sasha' 16, and, Samuel 'Kai,' 15, with his former partner, actress Naomi Watts, 54.

Neisen is set to become a mom for the first time, while Schreiber is already father to two boys he shares with ex Naomi Watts
Watts and Schreiber, 55, split in 2016 after 11 years together but have nurtured a famously strong relationship as co-parents ever since.
Proof positive of just how determined they have been to evolve their relationship with their changed circumstances came last summer when Watts posted a picture to Instagram celebrating Kai's middle school graduation.
In it, she poses proudly alongside her children while Schreiber beams next to Watts's current partner, fellow actor Billy Crudup, 54, and glamorous Neisen, smiles in shades at the back.
Watts tagged Neisen and captioned the image 'Congratulations to Kai class of 2022 #ModernFamily #Graduation.'
With the actress publicly admitting that she is 'proud…corny as it may sound,' that she and her ex have managed to 'be good and kind to each other,' Watts will surely be delighted by the news that their very modern family is set to expand.
Certainly, Schreiber has always made it clear that he wants his children to know that their parents care for each other.
Schreiber is on record as stating that, in that aspect, he and Watts will 'always be partners.'

Out of respect for each other, Watts and Schreiber reportedly made a pact not to openly date within a year of their separation seven years ago.
In fact, when speculation first began swirling around the nature of Schreiber's relationship with Neisen, with whom he was pictured in 2017, both claimed that she was the nanny for his children.
Speaking that October a representative for Schreiber at the time said, '[Ray and Taylor] are friends and she sometimes helps out with the kids – they are not dating.'
Quite when romance blossomed between the winsome blonde and the Ray Donovan actor is unclear, but by June 2018, they were seen surfing together in the Hamptons and had not long returned from a vacation together with his children in Costa Rica.
By the following winter, in 2019, Schreiber and Neisen were regularly to be seen walking their dog together in New York City where Schreiber lives.
Originally from Rapid City, South Dakota, former pageant queen, Neisen was an entrant in Miss USA 2012 as the reigning Miss South Dakota.
