Sheremet is a chef at Manhattan's Nobu 57 and pens his own food blog.

"Eddie and I are beyond happy and in love and look forward to one day sharing such private news with you all," she wrote in an extended Tweet.

"Hopefully will be able to enjoy it privately and share it with our family and friend's before the world knows."
