Gyllenhaal-Sarsgaard Engaged and Expecting

Long time couple Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard have announced they are getting married. As well as that, Gyllenhaal has announced she is pregnant with the couple's first child.
According to Maggie Gyllenhaal's publicist, Amanda
Silverman, this will be the celebrity couple's first
marriage, as was reported on MSNBC.
A spokesperson for Peter Sarsgaard confirmed the marriage
and the pregnancy, but didn't provide any details, such
as the date of the marriage or when the baby is expected,
according to Reuters.
The couple have been together for four years, which
is longer than most celebrity marriages. Gyllenhaal
and Sarsgaard met on the set of Steven Soderbergh's
2003 movie, In God's Hands, a low-budget movie
that never made it to release. E
Online reports that since that time, "they
have kept a relatively low public profile, even as their
respective film careers have increasingly put them in
the spotlight."
Maggie Gyllenhaal, 28, has an indie movie sensation,
having done movies like Donnie Darko (which she
made with her brother, Jake), Riding In Cars With
Boys, Homegrown and Cecil B. Demented.
Gyllenhaal broke through onto the scene with the S&M
movie, Secretary. Since that point, she's gone
on to star in Adaptation, Happy Endings
and Mona Lisa Smile. The pregnancy hasn't slowed
her down any, either. Gyllenhaal has finished filming
on Stranger Than Fiction (starring Will Ferrell,
herself, Dustin Hoffman, Queen Latifah and Emma Thompson),
Monster House, and Oliver Stone's World Trade
Center. Gyllenhaal is also waiting Paris, Je
T'aime to be released at the Cannes Film Festival.
Peter Sarsgaard, 35, is no slouch on the movie either.
He has shot more than 20 movies, which include the likes
of K-19: The Widowmaker, Garden State,
Kinsey, Flightplan and most recently,
Jarhead, where he worked with Maggie's brother,
Jake Gyllenhaal, the co-star of the critically acclaimed
Brokeback Mountain. Sarsgaard also managed to
garner a Golden Globe nomination for his work on Shattered
Glass.
