Watch: "Glee" Star Jenna Ushkowitz Talks Pregnant Naya Rivera

We're not the only ones who are excited for Naya Rivera's baby on the way—her Glee co-stars are thrilled for the mama-to-be, too! 

E! News caught up Jenna Ushkowitz, who plays Tina Cohen-Chang on the hit Fox series, at Kindred: The Foundation for Adoption Fundraiser in Los Angeles on Tuesday, where we asked the 28-year-old beauty about Rivera's recent pregnancy reveal. 

"I found out through her Instagram and I texted her, and I said, 'Oh my goodness, what's going on?'" she said, referring to Rivera's "bun in the oven" Instagram announcement. "I know she's wanted one for a long time and she just got married."

Rivera and husband Ryan Dorsey are currently expecting their first child, the news coming about seven months after the pair quietly tied the knot in Cabo San Lucas.

"I wish her the best," Ushkowitz continued before adding, "And she's going to be a great mom."

Rivera revealed the news last month via her blog writing, "We're having a baby! Ryan and I feel so blessed and can't wait to welcome the newest member of our family." 

Likewise, Dorsey confirmed the baby news on his Twitter account while also explaining the interesting timing of the couple's announcement (Rivera's pregnancy was revealed on the same day her ex-fiancé Big Sean's album dropped).

Meanwhile, Rivera, who is about to wrap up the final season of Glee, recently signed on to join the cast of Devious Maids, and clearly, pregnancy isn't slowing her down. 

Congrats, you two! Can't wait to meet the little one.
