CBS Television personality, Julie Chen is expecting a child!
According to CBS News, Chen made the announcement Tuesday morning during the first hour of "The Early Show."
"So it wasn't a big Sunday at the buffet table," She says. "I'm starting to show now! And my due date is Oct. 4. So, fingers crossed, and ... I'm not taking maternity leave from 'Big Brother.' Chen and her husband, CBS Corporation President and CEO Les Moonves have been married since 2004, and this will be the couple's first child.
Chen has interviewed newsmakers, including former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Queen Rania of Jordan, and former Defense Secretary William Cohen, as well as celebrities Tom Hanks, Ellen DeGeneres, Tom Cruise, Ben Affleck, Angelina Jolie, Chris Rock and Jennifer Lopez, among many others.
Before that, Chen served as news anchor of The Early Show and anchor of the CBS Morning News, the CBS Television Network's early-morning broadcast, since Nov. 1, 1999, when The Early Show debuted under that title.
Prior to joining The Early Show, Chen was a reporter and anchor for WCBS-TV, the CBS-owned station in New York (1997-99). Chen spends her summers doing double duty between co-anchoring The Early Show and hosting "Big Brother," a reality series, which begins its eighth season on CBS this summer.
Before joining CBS News, Chen worked as a reporter for WDTN-TV Dayton (1995-97). She began her career at ABC News (1990-95), where she worked on the late night news program "Nightline" and contributed to the award-winning primetime special "Anatomy of a Riot" about the 1992 Los Angeles riots.
Chen was born on January 6,1970 in Queens, New York. Before her, Julie's mother grew up in Rangoon, Burma, where Chen's grandfather was a leading industrialist. Her father was born in China and was one of the top leaders in the Kuomintang government of Chiang Kai-shek. Consequently, her family moved everywhere in China, eventually fleeing to Taiwan.
