Congratulations are in order for British actress Gemma Arterton, who has revealed that she has secretly welcomed her second child with her husband, Rory Keenan.
The couple, who married in 2019, are already the proud parents of their son, whom they welcomed in 2024.

Gemm said: "I've just had another kid, and so I'm in the thick of that', she explained. "But, but it's all lovely. Getting back into it again. You know, coming back from the brink of exhaustion, you know. You know, but it's all good," Gemma said.
In 2022, Gemma and Peaky Blinders star Rory moved to the East Sussex countryside two years after tying the knot in 2019.
Thoughts on motherhood
Gemma previously opened up about becoming a mother and the impact on her job in the world of Hollywood.

"That's only going to happen when I feel a little bit more accomplished... or at least when I've accomplished something of which I'm proud."
Secret wedding
Her new arrival isn't the only major life milestone Gemma has kept under wraps as her 2019 wedding to her fellow actor beau was also a big secret.
The pair, who first met in 2017 after both appeared in the West End play St Joan by George Bernard Shaw, said "I do," at Ballybeg House in Co Wicklow, Dublin, but news of the big day wasn't revealed until two weeks afterwards.
Gemma was previously married to Italian businessman Stefano Catelli; the former couple's wedding was in 2010 at an intimate ceremony in Spain in front of a small group of family and friends.
