Jennifer Lopez may be keeping silent about her pregnancy, but her ex-husband Cris Judd can't quite contain his excitement.

"I am very happy for her that she is pregnant," Judd, 38, gushed to Usmagazine.com October 22 at the Hollywood Film Festival's Hollywood Awards in Beverly Hills, where his new short film La Noir screened.

Clearly, there's no ill-will between the pair (who wed in 2001 but separated less than a year later).

Said Judd, "She has always wanted to be a mom, so I am very happy for her."
