‘Justified’ Actress Natalie Zea Reveals She’s Pregnant
Justified actress Natalie Zea has confirmed that she’s pregnant, People is reporting.
The 40-year-old turned up Thursday night in L.A. for the premiere of her new movie, Too Late, with a rather obvious baby bump. A Daily Mail reporter covering the event cornered Natalie and asked her about it.
“Yes, I am pregnant.”
This will be the first child for Natalie.
The baby will also be the first child for the baby’s father, Natalie’s husband, Travis Schuldt. Schuldt, also 40, is perhaps best known for his role as Keith Dudemeister on Scrubs.
An unnamed source close to the couple confirmed, via Design Trend, that the couple is thrilled that Natalie is pregnant.
“It’s a great time for them and they are very happy. They are looking forward to being parents. It’s going to be a very busy year for the couple.”
On Tuesday, Natalie posted a photo on Twitter of a rather huge breakfast, broadly hinting that she might be eating for two.

Natalie Zea and Travis Schuldt met 10 years ago when they were both working on the NBC soap opera Passions. After Passions ended, Natalie went on to spend several years playing bit parts and recurring characters, most notably on The Shield, Dirty Sexy Money, Californication, and The Following. Natalie’s breakout role came in the F/X drama Justified, where she played Winona Hawkins, a character fans loved to hate.

Winona being all “I’m done trying to change you” doesn’t change the fact that I hate her. #Justified
