"In life there are moments you cherish forever and this is one of them," Berkley, 39, told People. "Greg and I are so excited to be expecting our first child this summer. We couldn't be more grateful and overjoyed."

Berkley and Lauren married on Nov. 1, 2003, in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. After playing Jessie Spano on "Saved by the Bell," she starred in the film "Showgirls" and on TV's "The L Word" and "CSI: Miami." She also wrote a book, "Ask Elizabeth."

The actress isn't the first Bayside High School graduate to start a family - her "Saved by the Bell" co-stars Mark-Paul Gossellar (Zack Morris), Tiffani Thiessen (Kelly Kapowski), Lark Voorhies (Lisa Turtle) and Mario Lopez (A.C. Slater) all have children of their own.
