Jaime Pressly Is Playing The Field?

'My Name Is Earl' star Jaime Pressly has confirmed that she is "taking a break" from her fiancé Eric Cubiche, after dating for about a year and a half.

The couple announced their engagement in October 2006 and welcomed their first child, Dezi James, in May last year (2007), however, Pressly announced to Access Hollywood that, despite their split, they are still close.

"We are taking a break from our relationship, but we are together everyday with Dezi and still love each other very much," the actress revealed.

"As you know, we have been friends for over 10 years and will remain close friends as we both adore our son and want to make sure he knows we both love him more than life."

Jaime Pressly Has Baby Boy

Actress Jaime Pressly and her deejay fiancé, Eric Cubiche, welcomed a baby boy named Dezi James on Friday, the actress' rep confirmed.

The newborn weighed in at a healthy six pounds, four ounces, and measured 18.5 inches long.

"This kid is gorgeous!" the new mom enthused through her rep.


Pressly, 29, first announced that she was expecting back in November after initially denying pregnancy rumors fueled by her costar, Jason Lee.

The baby was named "Dezi" after Desi Arnaz, in deference to Cubiche's habit of calling out, "Luuuuucy, I'm ho-ome," upon walking in the door, and "James" in honor of Pressly's father.

The new parents announced their engagement in October after dating for a year and a half, but have said they are in no rush to get married.

"I do want to be a princess for a day, but it's not necessary to do that before you have kids. A lot of women do it later," Pressly told sources.

In addition to her role on NBC's Earl, the Emmy-nominated actress designs her own line of clothing, J'aime.

With all that, plus a baby on board, who could blame her for putting off the wedding for a while?
