So many congratulations are in order for Josh Lucas.

E! News confirms that the Sweet Home Alabama star got married to his girlfriend Jessica in a super secret ceremony over the weekend. And that's not all, she's also expecting their first child!

The couple are known to be low-key so we weren't too surprised about them getting married behind our backs choosing to keep their wedding hush-hush.

Lucas proposed to his new wife in January after an encounter with a mountain lion while shooting a movie in Big Sur.

"That night, I then go home at 4 o'clock in the morning and realize I don't have a flashlight," Lucas shared on The Jay Leno Show. "And as I'm going up, I get to the point where I realize I can see nothing...I hear, totally serious, two big breaths, and six feet above me, I see the very slight glint of the eyes of a huge [mountain lion] and I literally proceed to do what I had just read in the instructions. And I started screaming and yelling and literally being as crazy as I could be, it padded off and just slowly went away and I worked my way into the trailer and I got in and I decided at that moment that this woman was the woman for me."

When you know, you know. Congratulations!
