He’s unlucky in love on Gossip Girl, but Matthew Settle is doing just fine in real life.

MATTHEW SETTLE AND WIFE EXPECTING!

The 38-year-old actor, who plays Rufus Humphrey on the CW hit, and his wife, actress-model Naama Nativ, are expecting their first child, a rep for the star confirms to Life & Style. Matthew shouted it from the rooftops, too, at the EMM Group Estate in New York’s Hamptons on Aug. 16. “He was sitting on a golf cart with Naama waiting to be taken up the driveway to the Estate, and he just blurted it out,” says a partygoer at the Don Julio–sponsored bash. “He seemed so pumped about it, and Naama was glowing. And even though Matthew had to mingle with his castmates and the show’s producers during the party, he was so attentive to her. It was sweet.”
