Anniversary present: Hilary Duff and husband Mike Comrie announced today that they are expecting their first child





Hilary Duff has announced she is pregnant with her first child.



The 23-year-old actress and hockey player husband Mike Comrie shared the exciting news today on what is also their wedding anniversary.



The couple have only been married for a year but are looking forward to expanding their family.



The happy couple: Spotted out together today having a leisurely stroll in Malibu





She posted a message on her official website sharing her joy with her fans.



'Hello everyone! This weekend, Mike and I are celebrating our 1 year anniversary!', she wrote.



'In memory of the special day, we decided to post some of our favourite pictures from our wedding!



'I can't believe it has already been a year, time really flies when you're having fun!

'Thanks to everyone for the continued love and support throughout the

years,' she added.



Hilary had said earlier this month that she and Mike, 30, were excited to have children but were planning to wait a bit longer as she wanted to make a new album.



The couple were pictured going for a bike ride yesterday with their pet pooches.



Maybe getting in practice for looking after someone, they went for the family cycle trip with Dubois running on the ground, and Jack, up top in the basket.



And they're obviously both passionate about dogs, as today they enjoyed a bike ride with Dubois and Jack yesterday in the L.A sun.

Hilary and the NHL Pittsburgh Penguins star married in a romantic ceremony in Santa Barbara last August.



Diminutive Duff, who is a pocket rocket at just 5ft 3in, dated Nicole Richie's husband before finding love with the hockey champ.



She has been enjoying some time off before she starts shooting new film Bonnie and Clyde.

Hilary and Mike shut out the bright lights of the media glare during an Italian holiday.



On her return to LA, she tweeted: 'Back in the USA!sorry no tweets I was on vacay with Mikey in Italy!no phones! It ruled!'



She clearly made up for her lack of mobile by busily texting while sitting in the driver's seat of her car.



Hilary will play the title character in the remake of the 1967 production starring Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway, with Gossip Girl actor Kevin Zegers as her partner in crime Clyde Barrow.
