Conan O’Brien let the stork out of the bag Monday night – by congratulating Liev Schreiber for expecting a baby with Naomi Watts.

“Yes, I’m going to be a dad,” Schreiber said in response to the announcement by the Late Night host. “Very exciting.”

Schreiber jokingly told O’Brien that he “gave grief” to Watts – whom he described as “normally a wallflower” – for her suddenly being so sociable and going to the Oscars. (Schreiber, meanwhile was back on the East Coast during Oscar night, as he is starring in the Broadway revival of Talk Radio).

“And she said, ‘No, no – it’s a very auspicious thing that our embryo is going to be at the Oscars,’ ” said Schreiber.

When it comes to selecting a name for the child, “I’m trying to stay out of it all,” he adds. “I’m trying not to make any decisions, [because] everything that I try to do in service of her or the coming baby is wrong. So I really don’t even go to my house much anymore.”

One thing for sure, however: The baby will not be named Liev. “It’s an awful name,” said Schreiber. “It’s probably the most oft-mispronounced name in showbiz.”

Watts, 38, who starred in King Kong, and the Manchurian Candidate leading man, 39, started dating in 2005 and were first seen in public at a U2 concert in Manhattan on May 21 of that year.

Naomi Watts is expecting someone. A source tells Us Weekly that the 38-year-old actress and her actor beau, Liev Schreiber, 39, are going to be parents.

The couple of nearly two years dined with pals at NYC eatery Pastis on February 18 where “Naomi was visibly pregnant,” an eyewitness says. “Liev was smiling and looking at her stomach. They were cute.”

Watts’ rep said she doesn’t comment on her client’s personal life.

What do you think of her shoes?

Naomi Watts is expecting her first baby, according to media reports in Australia.

Rumours circulated after the stylish star was seen wearing a series of baggy garments and photographed leaving a Brentwood, California, fertility clinic.

Sydney’s Daily Telegraph newspaper reports it was the second time Watts had been spotted visiting the clinic and that she was “sporting a definite glow” when she attended the Shakespeare in the Park gala in New York City’s Central Park with beau Liev Schreiber on Thursday.

Watts was also seen visiting Chinese herbalist and fertility expert Lily Liu in Australia, who is renowned for her work assisting women who want to become pregnant.
