Gillian Anderson is pregnant - just months after splitting from her husband. The 'X-Files' actress has told friends she is expecting following her break-up from documentary maker Julian Ozanne, her second husband, according to Mail On Sunday newspaper.

Anderson split from Ozanne in April just 16 months after the pair tied the knot in a lavish ceremony held on the island of Lamu, situated off the coast of Kenya, in 2004.

The 37-year-old star - who already has an 11-year-old daughter, Piper, from her first marriage to Canadian television art director Clyde Klotz, which ended in 1996 - is now said to be dating wheel-clamping firm director Mark Griffiths.

Anderson is believed to have delayed telling close friends about the pregnancy until she reached the 12-week stage, the time at which risks of losing the baby become minimal.

Griffiths, 34, moved into the actress' ￡3million home in Holland Park, London, last month.

Anderson's spokesperson has so far refused to confirm the pregnancy and it is not yet known who the father is.
