Melissa Joan Hart, who starred in the TV series “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” is reportedly expecting her first child. Hart, 29, is married to Mark Wilkerson, 28, the lead singer and guitarist for the rock trio Course of Nature. Their baby is due in January, People magazine says in its July 11 edition.

“I’m thrilled to death,” Paula Hart, the actress’ mother, told People. “Melissa is feeling great. So far, so good.”

Hart and Wilkerson met at a Kentucky Derby party in Louisville, Ky., in May 2002, People said. They were married in July 2003 in Italy. Hart stars in the upcoming film “Jack Satin.”

I had no idea she was married. And, sheesh, she’s already 29?
