Claire Danes just announced that she and her husband Hugh Dancy are expecting baby #1. The pair, who met on the set of “Evening” and married in 2009, have seemed to be following the “normal” trajectory for a couple. Find out more about the celeb baby news in the video below!



Sure, the relationship began when Danes cheated on then-beau Billy Crudup with Dancy, but that was pure karma since Crudup left his preggo girlfriend Mary Louise Parker with Danes. But despite this rocky start, Danes and Dancy dated for a respectable amount of time before tying the knot and now have waited a few years before starting a family. No shotgun weddings, no babies born out of wedlock and no record-setting divorce filings.

Aside from the Crudup hiccup, it seems Danes has managed to transition from child star to adult actress without any signs of DUIs, drug smugglings or court hearings. Professionally, she’s smoothly morphed from “My So-Called Life’s” Angela Chase to “Homeland’s” Carrie Mathison without so much as a blip on her radar. And in an industry where the Linsday Lohans and Jody Sweetins are constantly front-page news, it’s refreshing to see that some have made it through unscathed.

Danes is not the only actress to step into adult roles without suffering the public failures of the pressure. Natalie Portman, burst onto the scene in “Leon: The Professional” at the age of 13 and in 2011 took home both an Oscar and a bouncing baby boy with fiancé, ballet dancer Benjamin Millepied. And in spite of rumors of a secret marriage, the couple just reportedly announced plans to wed in August 2012.

Another actress who avoided the drama that typically follows child stardom is Anna Paquin, who won an Oscar at age 11 and married her “True Blood” co-star Stephen Moyer in 2010. They will become parents of twins for the first time this fall. And Sarah Jessica Parker, who went from “Annie” to “Sex in the City,” stayed out of trouble and settled down with actor Matthew Broderick in 1997 and had three children. What do you think: Who is the most normal child star?

    Claire Danes seems really down to earth. I have loved her since she starred in "My So-Called Life". It feels like just yesterday that I watched the pilot episode...wow how time flies!

    Mayim Bialik--"Blossom"--Mayim grew up, went to college, became a Neurologist, got married, had 2 kids, wrote a book on parenting, and has begun her acting career again on "Big Bang Theory" as Sheldon's geeky girlfriend, a roll Mayim was born for.

    I don't think any child star can have a normal life unless they have good parents who don't let the money or the fame go to their head.

    Because I've heard she's very intelligent. But I guess that wouldn't make her that normal.

    She has been with the same husband, Matthew Broderick for more than a decade. She took her time to have children and seems to settle into her life in a normal way, no drama, no drugs or alcohol abuses. Both are successful so there's no professional jealousy.

    Hillary Duff is probely the most normal MAJOR child star who either hasn't completely fallen off the radar or really had some hiccup of poor taste that we've had in the post golden age of Hollywood. Claire Danes did cheat on a boyfriend before she straightened out. I said Major child star because their are a lot of child stars who have consistent work but fly under the radar and yet turn out normal. Hillary Duff was married before getting pregnant, enjoys cooking (she actually collects cookbooks), and has a quiet life that doesn't seem to be obsessed with getting back to the Hollywood spotlight. Plus I've never heard anything bad about her.
