UPDATE: You can preview Heigl’s upcoming interview with Ellen after the jump.

Katherine Heigl’s upcoming leave of absence is going to come in quite handy.

Late today, a rep of for the Grey’s Anatomy star confirmed that Katherine and husband Josh Kelley will soon become first-time parents. No - Heigl isn’t pregnant. The couple’s simply adopting.

The little girl, who is reportedly named Nayleigh (they’ll call her “Leigh”), will be coming from Korea. That’s the same country Katherine’s adopted sister Meg is from. The 10-month-old child should be joining the family sometime this week.

Heigl, 30, is expected to formally make the announcement on this Friday’s taping of The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

The baby’s arrival will come at a busy time for the actress. She begins filming Life As We Know It with Josh Duhamel next week.
