Model/actress Milla Jovovich has personally thanked a compassionate blogger who agreed to stay mum about The Fifth Element star’s pregnancy until after her first trimester. Jovovich and her fiancé Paul W.S. Anderson tracked down E! Online gossip king Marc Malkin at a party earlier this week to thank him for giving the couple a chance to let the good news sink in before announcing it to the world.

Malkin reveals he first heard the news when Anderson was overheard talking to his mother about the baby at a Los Angeles restaurant, but he agreed to keep it to himself after Jovovich’s aides begged him not to go public with his scoop.

And when the blogger attended the launch party of Jovovich’s new fashion line, Jovovich-Hawk, at the Stoli Hotel party space in Hollywood, the actress made a point of thanking him.

He says, “Jovovich said to me, ‘That was so sweet of you to hold off.” The actress, who was showing off her slight baby bump at the party, told Malkin she has put on 25 pounds in her first four months of pregnancy and she’s craving steak and potatoes, spaghetti carbonara and Sprite. Malkin reports, “She’s been drinking Sprite like crazy - like six cans a day.”

Milla Jovovich and her fiancé, writer/director Paul Anderson, are expecting their first child this fall, her rep confirms to Usmagazine.com.

The couple have been engaged on-and-off for four years.

“He got me an antique ring and he proposed four years ago but we broke up in between,” the Jovovich-Hawk designer explained to Us Weekly earlier this month. She and Anderson, 42, have been dating for seven years, since he first directed her in the film Resident Evil.

The low-maintenance gal also revealed that she eventually had Anderson downgrade the impressive sparkler he used to pop the question.

“I was training for a film at the time and I was unable to train with the ring he got me, so I asked him to get me a more casual, smaller ring and he bought one for me,” she said.

However, don’t expect to see the pair rushing down the aisle. When asked whether they’ve set a date, Jovovich responded, “No, not yet. We talk about it casually. I have a good girlfriend in Italy. She is part of an ancient Italian family and they have a castle so we are hoping to get married there.”
