Matthew Settle and Naama Nativ: Expecting a Girl!

Roger Wong/INF

Since announcing their pregnancy in August, Matthew Settle and wife Naama Nativ have been fairly tight-lipped about their impending parenthood. But Matthew, 38, opened up to PEOPLE Tuesday night after the Tribeca Film Institute’s benefit screening of Quantum of Solace, saying he’s "thrilled" to become a father. He told reporters,

"Before you have a child, everything is about you. But my wife, and us having a child, makes me want to be a better man."

Joking that he’ll "never be ready" to be a dad, Matthew did say that playing a dad to two teens on the hit show Gossip Girl "is helping inform [his] real life" as Naama’s due date looms. Parenting a daughter on TV should be especially helpful, since Naama revealed the couple is having a girl! "Pregnancy is going amazingly, I love it," Naama shares. "And Matthew’s very happy, very excited."

The couple’s daughter is due in March. While they’re preparing for their new arrival, they’re still undecided on names, Naama shares. "We’re not sure yet … we’ll see. I want Angelica," she revealed.
