Baby on the Way for Sara Gilbert and Linda Perry

Gilbert announced the happy news on her talk show Tuesday

Sara Gilbert is going from newlywed to new mom!

The Talk host and wife Linda Perry are expecting a baby together, she announced on her show Tuesday.

During the series’s “Facing Your Fears” segment for its premiere week, Gilbert, 39, explained why she couldn’t complete her dare of lying on a bed of nails and having a cinder block broken over her stomach.

“I actually can’t do it, because I’m pregnant,” she revealed, tearing up. “I feel good, I feel really good … at first I was really tired.”

Later in the show, Shemar Moore and Kristoff St. John poked fun at the happy news, with Moore joking, “The only thing bigger than Sara being pregnant is that I’m the baby daddy,” as his fellow The Young and the Restless guest star insisted, “I’m the baby daddy!”

The actress already has two children — daughter Sawyer, 7, and son Levi, 9 — from her previous relationship with TV producer and writer Ali Adler.

Gilbert and Perry, 49, married in March after dating for three years.

“We’ve always been pretty open with each other,” the rocker told PEOPLE in April of her relationship with Gilbert. “I think that’s what the draw is.”
