Claire Danes and Hugh Dancy are expecting their second child

They already have a 5-year-old son together.

Claire Danes and Hugh Dancy are expecting their second child together. The Homeland star confirmed the news on The Howard Stern Show on Wednesday, in what she later admitted was her official announcement. The actress, who shares 5-year-old son Cyrus Michael Christopher with Dancy, said that she is "seriously preggo", before adding:

"I'm deep into my second trimester."

She later added that the couple are keen to keep the baby's gender a secret - though she joked that they would be naming their baby after the radio DJ (Howardina, if it's a girl). Danes and Dancy first met on the set of the 2006 drama, Evening, before tying the knot in 2009. They welcomed their son, Cyrus, in 2012. The 39-year-old previously opened up about motherhood in the February 2013 edition of Elle, admitting she was nervous about working and being a mum. She said:

“I’ve always wanted to have kids, but I’m glad I didn’t until now. When I was thinking about [working and being a mother] originally, I was really nervous about it. “I think I would make a lousy stay-at-home mom. It just wouldn’t suit me. I feel so fortunate, in that I’ve had this arrow-straight focus that I wanted to act.”
