Actress Paula Patton has revealed that her R&B singer husband Robin Thicke is thrilled he got her pregnant so soon after she came off the Pill.

The 34-year-old Precious star said: ‘He’s so proud of himself, it’s ridiculous.’

But Patton, who plays teacher Ms Rain in the award-winning movie, admitted that there are some pros to being an expectant mother – like being able to cut back on her gym sessions.

She said: ‘A year ago, I started doing Ashtanga yoga five or six days a week… [But] I’ve cut back during my pregnancy. I told my trainer I don’t want to see the inside of a gym.’

Patton also revealed that being pregnant has affected her in other surprising ways.

She said: ‘Since I’ve been pregnant, my nails have been stronger and my hair is thicker…

‘When people say: ‘You have a pregnancy glow’, I wonder if it has to do with my healthier lifestyle.

‘No more cocktails and I’m getting more sleep than ever – nine or 10 hours a night.

‘I was never that girl.’
