Poppy Montgomery Calls Son the Love of Her Life

Some actresses spend their pregnancies clutching over-sized purses to conceal their growing bump, but not Poppy Montgomery, 36 -- and she couldn't be happier about it. When the producers of Without A Trace agreed to write her pregnancy into the show's plot, she decided to make the most of the situation! "I was like, 'Great! Ben & Jerry's for breakfast, Ben & Jerry's for lunch, Ben & Jerry's for dinner,'" she said Tuesday on Live with Regis and Kelly.

All the ice cream came at a price, however -- Poppy gained 67 pounds while carrying son Jackson Phillip Deveraux, 8-months. "I ate, like, everything," she admits. "I would have eaten my desk if I could have fit it into my mouth." Still, it was a price worth paying; Of Jackson, Poppy says "he's the love of my life."

Jackson is the first child for Poppy and her boyfriend Adam Kaufman.
