By Alison Gee

Jason Bateman and his wife, Amanda Anka, are expecting their first child – a girl due this fall – Bateman's rep, Cara Tripicchio, has confirmed to PEOPLE.

Bateman, 37, and Anka, 37, who knew each other as casual acquaintances for years before they started dating in 1998, wed in Malibu on July 3, 2001.

Most recently Bateman starred in the critically acclaimed series Arrested Development, for which he won a Golden Globe last year. Anka has appeared in such shows as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Diagnosis Murder.

The couple live in Los Angeles, close to Bateman's sister, Justine, who starred in the '80s sitcom Family Ties.

Former "Arrested Development" star Jason Bateman has developed into a first-time father.

The actor and his wife Amanda Anka welcomed a baby girl on Saturday (Oct. 28) in Los Angeles, reports People. They named their first child Francesca Nora Bateman, flouting the latest Hollywood trends to go obscure or unusual when naming children.

Bateman and Anka, both 37, had known each other for years before they began dating in 1998. The couple co-starred in the film "Sol Goode" and married in Malibu in July 2001. They currently live in LA.

She is the daughter of singer-songwriter Paul Anka and has appeared in the Jimmy Fallon comedy "Taxi" and the film version "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," along with guest spots on "ER" and "Diagnosis Murder."

Bateman received a Golden Globe in 2005 for his work on the defunct sitcom "Arrested Development" and last appeared on the big-screen in "The Break Up." He next stars opposite Zach Braff and Amanda Peet in the comedy "Fast Track."
