KERRY WASHINGTON & HUSBAND SPOTTED OUT TO DINNER AFTER BEING CUT BY THE SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS

And he need those coins right now, waived bye bye! Kerry Washington's husband Nnamdi Asomugha is axed by San Francisco 49ers. According to ESPN Eric Wright will take his place after coming off the non-football injury list. 

Nnamdi had signed a one-year contract with the five-time Super Bowl champions in April after being released by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2012. However he played in just three games, recording a disappointing three tackles and two passes defensed. And it appears the team's management were not too happy with the return on their investment, and have now decided to cut their losses.

 However the athlete's personal life is looking far brighter than his career. For the couple are now expecting their first child together, with the 36-year-old Scandal star said to be 'about four months along.'

Late-night date night! Pregnant Kerry Washington and her top-secret husband Nnamdi Asomugha were spotted together in Manhattan over the weekend.  

The expectant Scandal star, hot off her successful stint as Saturday Night Live host on Nov. 2, was the guest of honor at the show's after party at Asellina Ristorante in NYC'S Gramercy nabe -- with her NFL player husband in tow. (On Monday, Nov. 4, Asomugha was waived by the San Francisco 49ers.)

"She was adorable, as you can imagine" an observer tells Us Weekly of Washington, 36. "She was with her husband, parents and family and friends. When she arrived to the table, they gave her a standing [ovation]!"

Despite her need for privacy, Washington told Glamour magazine in September that she's not trying to be misleading. "I'm walking around in the world with my ring," she said on her marriage to Asomugha. "And when people say congratulations, I say thank you."
