Palmer talked about how bad it is to have rumours spread around the internet, but she admitted it's even worse when they're true.

All joking aside, palmer said her pregnancy is the "biggest blessing" and that she is so excited to be a mom.
"Even though some people feel weird about me having a baby because I was a child actor, I just want to say, look, I'm 29, I'm grown, ok, I have sex, I own a home, I stormed the capital on January 6. You know things adults do!" Palmer joked.
Fans took to Twitter to celebrate the good news and shower Palmer in love.
