Dexter star Jennifer Carpenter has revealed that she and fiancé Seth Avett have become parents.

The actress was speaking to Entertainment Tonight during a CBS press conference when she confirmed the delightful news.

Speaking about her new TV series, Limitless, the 35-year-old said: “I get to bring the little one to work so that's amazing to go from, like, this world [points to Jake McDorman, her co-star] to this world,” Jen then mimed holding a baby.

She then added: “It creates a lot of balance. I'm lucky -- very lucky.”

The actress continued to shoot scenes right up until weeks before her she gave birth.

Jen said: “I was also eight and a half months pregnant when we shot, so I feel like I was walking on set going, "Are you sure I'm supposed to be here?"

The star- who played Debra Morgan in cult Showtime series Dexter until 2013- met fiancé Seth in 2013 and the pair got engaged in February this year.

The TV actress was previously married to her Dexter co-star Michael C Hall.

She then revealed that she was expecting her first baby with her folk singer beau.

Jen has not yet revealed the name or sex of her baby.
