Kristy Swanson, Lloyd Eisler Expecting

The winning couple from "Skating With Celebrities" are taking on a new challenge: parenthood.

Actress Kristy Swanson and Olympic skater Lloyd Eisler are expecting a baby on Valentine's Day, they announced Monday.

Swanson, 36, and Eisler, 43, met last summer on the Fox TV show and went on to win the competition.

It will be the first child for Swanson. Eisler has two sons, ages 8 months and 2 years with wife Marcia O'Brien.

Eisler and O'Brien reportedly separated on November 30, a few weeks before their youngest son was born.

O'Brien told "Inside Edition" in February that she suspected Swanson and Eisler started an affair before he was legally separated.

"Anyone who would do this to a pregnant woman, I say 'Good riddance,'" O'Brien said.

Eisler's publicist, Cheryl Kagan, said that he and Swanson did not begin dating until December.

Swanson's film credits include "Big Daddy," "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and the title role in "Buffy The Vampire Slayer." Swanson also posed in the buff for Playboy in 2002.

Eisler won bronze medals at the 1992 and 1994 Winter Olympics with skating partner Isabelle Brasseur.
