The surprise development comes at a tricky time for the pair, though — they’ve recently been struggling with their nine-year marriage due to Ben’s compulsive gambling, history of cheating and breakneck work schedule. However, so far, the pregnancy news seems to be helping the marriage.

“Ben has been going above and beyond lately: He’s checking up on Jen all the time and surprising her with flowers,” the source explains. “Jen thinks this baby could be the key to making her marriage strong again.”
