Curtis Stone, Lindsay Price Expecting First Child

Paul Archuleta/FilmMagic

There’s a bun in the oven for Curtis Stone and Lindsay Price.

The Top Chef Masters host, 35, and actress, 34, are expecting their first child together, the couple confirm to PEOPLE.

“We couldn’t be more thrilled to be starting a family together,” Stone tells PEOPLE. “We are over the moon.”

The celebrity chef and Price, who most recently appeared on Love Bites, Eastwick and Lipstick Jungle, have been dating since 2009.

“She is a real sweetheart and I am lucky to have found her,” the celebrity chef told his native Australia’s Herald Sun earlier this year. “It has been awesome.”

Curtis how could you, I have LOVED you since Take Home Chef!!!!

You seem like too much of a gentleman to be somebody’s “Baby Daddy”!

You would make a much better husband, mine but if we can’t, be happy!

I loved him on Take Home Chef! That is going to be one gorgeous child!

- TM on June 24th, 2011

She has been on a couple of more unknown series like Coupling and Eastwick. She was one of the 3 main girls on Lipstick Jungle. She was also dating Rob Buckley for a while who is now on One Tree Hill. I will always remember her from being Steve Sander’s girlfriend on 90210. Then they got married and had a baby on the show.

- Nancy on June 24th, 2011

OMG…..! First of all….Noooo!! I Have a huge crush on Curtis! I really loved him on take home chef! And yes of course….Congrats to the couple!! Have a happy and wonderful life ahead!

- Ava marcel on June 24th, 2011

Lindsay is one lucky lady!! He is one fine man.

- Serena on June 24th, 2011

Here is a humorous fist shake and a “damn her!” Totally thought he was single and had NO IDEA where she’d gotten off to since her last show was cancelled or whatever.

Wow – congrats!

- Jen DC on June 24th, 2011

what a beautiful baby!!

- cindy on June 24th, 2011

I had no idea they were dating… Hopefully the baby doesn’t get her “new” teeth… (joke I know it can’t happen)… But this will be a cute baby.

I wonder if he’ll still be on The Biggest Loser?

- Meems on June 24th, 2011

I’m pretty sure her parents are brother and sister, or am I thinking of a different actress?

- dsfg on June 24th, 2011

I didn’t even know they were together! Anyways, Congrats to them!

- Brooklyn on June 24th, 2011

dsfg – No, I think you’re right. Her grandparents adopted her mom from Korea when her dad was a little boy.

Despite the awkwardness of that situation, I think that having been together since childhood when you have a baby is better than having been together two years when you have a baby, but that’s just my opinion. Congratulations to them.

- Hi on June 24th, 2011

Lindsay’s mother, who is supposedly adopted by her paternal grandfather, married her grandfather’s biological son.

Hi, What is wrong with being together for two years and having a baby? Or maybe I am confused by what you said….. How does time define when a baby should be brought in the world? When is the right time to have a baby?

- Jillian on June 24th, 2011

Color me green with envy..I too have loved him since Take Home Chef..Congrats to them…One lucky baby and one super lucky woman…

- Becky on June 24th, 2011

I met Curtis this spring and was lucky enough to have a dish of pasta he personally prepred. Being pregnant myself (and starving!) it was honestly one of the best things I have ever eaten I’m so very happy for both of them!!

- Michele on June 24th, 2011

Jillian – There’s nothing wrong with having a baby after two years. If two people decide they’re in love and want to be parents together, it doesn’t matter how long they’ve known each other.

My comment was based in a few stories I’ve heard of people marrying or having a child with someone they’d only known a year or two and later regretting it.

However, neither Curtis nor Lindsay appear to be the regrettable type, and I’m sure that they and their baby will be very happy together for a very long time.

- Hi on June 24th, 2011

That baby will be so gorgeous:) Congrats to them – no idea they were together!

- Leah on June 24th, 2011

My mouth literally dropped open when I read this headline. I had no clue they were dating! I’ve liked Lindsay since she was on 90210. She always seemed so sweet. And Curtis? Hot damn, he’s a fine looking man. I can barely even concentrate when watching him on Top Chef (and on Take Home Chef, back in the day). His good looks and Australian accent are just so sexy. What a great couple! Congrats to them!

- shalay on June 25th, 2011

Hi, Gotcha! I misunderstood what you were saying, my apologies. I do agree with you that there are many couples who rush having a child. Breaks my heart because the child ends up losing and getting hurt in the end.

- Jillian on June 25th, 2011

Wow, no clue they were together either lol…..going to be one beautiful baby, CONGRATS!!!!!

- Capri on June 25th, 2011

Nooooooooooooo Curtis was supposed to be mine! lol

Congrats!

- Shannon on June 25th, 2011

The one thing I’ve always admired about Curtis Stone is although he is approachable he is a private person. It may seem quick to some but, the heart wants what the heart wants (They started dating in March 2010.)

I’m just glad that he chosed a mature woman and not some edgy twenty-something, Hollywood flavor of the month to have a child with. Ms. Price has been married before and seems grounded. Best wishes to them both.

- Buffy on June 27th, 2011

Wow! Love them both! How did they keep this under wraps for 2 years??? Unfortunately, the paparazzi will now follow them everywhere! Best wishes to this fantastic couple! That is going to be a stunning child!

- Lori on June 27th, 2011

Damn.. I was hoping I could have his baby..

- Mel on June 27th, 2011

Beautiful couple!! Congrats!

- Sus on June 28th, 2011

I am thrilled to learn that they are a couple!! Lindsay’s been a favorite since the soap opera days and I just adore Curtis!!(he’s a favorite chef of mine!!) How fabulous that they have each other!! Congratulations and much happiness!!

- samantha on June 28th, 2011

Wow, I didn’t even know Curtis and Lindsay were together. But best wishes to them on the pregnancy! I can’t wait to hear more on them.

- FC on June 28th, 2011

Curtis is lovely, I met him on a tv commercial shoot in Sydney (where I live) he is gorgeous and charming – no chance that he is gay! Just a handsome Aussie guy and surprising tall. Good luck to them both!

- Sarah on June 29th, 2011

I feel the same way, Shannnon, he was supposed to be mine!

- Terri on June 29th, 2011

I Soooo Love How In Love They Are..I Bet They Are So Excited…Congrats To Them !!!!
