Washington – who is expecting her first child with her husband Nnamdi Asomugha – threw a lavish bash at the home of her popular TV show’s creator, Shonda Rhimes, for 40 of her closest friends and family members. A source told People magazine: “Several guests gave toasts and Kerry seemed very excited.”

Party goers, who included fitness guru Jane Fonda, sipped lemonade and champagne at the event. Kerry Washington, 37, appears to be keeping the sex of her baby a secret, with the eye-witness revealing that presents were wrapped in a neutral mix of yellows, pinks, blues and greens.
