The 35-year-old star confirmed the news through a representative, saying: ‘Jennifer and Brian are thrilled to be expecting their second child.’
Hewitt and her husband Brian welcomed daughter Autumn James in November 2013, so they will certainly have their hands full when their new baby arrives this year.
The I know what you did last summer actress admitted that motherhood was initially terrifying, but that her husband and former co-star helped her keep it together in the delivery room.
‘I was really worried I was going to get that face - “Mmm, what’s happening here?” - and I’m not good at the faces so I would’ve been like “What does that mean? What does that mean!” But he was just like “This is great, I am so proud of you right now. This is awesome, you look beautiful.”’
She added: ‘I was really proud of him. He’s that guy anyway, so he’s impressive in that way, but he was great.’
Hewitt made the decision last time around to not know the sex of her child until the birth, we wonder if she’ll be able to hold off knowing this time around?
