Made of Honor star Michelle Monaghan and her husband Peter White, a graphic designer, are expecting their first child, PEOPLE has learned exclusively.

Monaghan's rep Jennifer Allen, who confirms the news, says, "They are very excited." Monaghan, 32, is due in late fall.

The Mission: Impossible 3 beauty started dating White after the two met in a New York bar, and the couple married in August 2005.

At the Made of Honor premiere in New York in April, Monaghan told PEOPLE that children were "in our future, for sure."

"I love children and it's something that I've always wanted, to be a mother and have kids," she said.

Next up for Monaghan is the DreamWorks thriller Eagle Eye, co-starring Shia LaBoeuf, which is due out on September 26th, and the independent drama, Trucker, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in April.
