Pregnant Kristen Bell of 'House of Lies' Concerned about Weight Gain

Mom-to-be Kristen Bell is a little bit concerned about the speed at which she is gaining weight.

"I am currently quite a bit overweight," Us Weekly quoted Bell, as saying during a radio interview with CBS Detroit's Stoney and Bill. "I'm about 367 pounds. I'm not sure how far that is in months, but in pounds, that's where I'm weighing in."

This is the first child of the "Veronica Mars" star with fiancé Dax Shepard. The celebrity couple, who started dating in 2007 announced expecting a child in early November. According to sources, Bell experienced morning sickness during the early stages of her pregnancy, but has started shooting the second season of "House of lies." The baby is due in late spring.

Shepard and Bell, who got engaged in 2010, announced their plan to stay unmarried until the state of California made same-sex marriage legal.

"The reason we're not rushing to get married is because I don't feel appropriate taking advantage of a right that's denied to my [gay and lesbian] friends," Bell told Daily Mail in February. "That's why we've been so hesitant. Dax and I have talked about it a lot, and this issue is very important to both of us. We're just standing up for what we believe in."

Bell started her acting career as Becky Thatcher in "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" in 2001 and grabbed many awards including Satellite Award and Saturn Award. Currently she is playing the female lead role on television series "House of Lies."

Shepard, who appeared with Jessica Simpson in "Employee of the Month" also co-starred with "Let's Go to Prison" and "Baby Mama." Presently he's playing a lead role in NBC's "Parenthood."
