Naturi Naughton, known for her roles as Tasha on "Power" and for her portrayal of Lil Kim in Notorious, is expecting her first child with longtime boyfriend Ben.

The actress and former 3LW singer spoke exclusively to People, telling them, “I feel like being pregnant and entering this new stage has made me stronger and more excited about life in general. Everything seems so much more purposeful.”

The 32-year-old learned she was pregnant while shooting for "Power," and Naturi said the cast has been so supportive of her exciting news. Naughton revealed, “They’ve been really good at keeping it on the low, but they’re also super excited.
