(CNN) — Kate Mara and her husband, Jamie Bell, are expecting their second child.
The 39-year-old “House of Cards” star subtly announced the baby news on Sunday with a photo posted to her Instagram account of the actress and her husband walking hand-in-hand outside Claridge’s Hotel in London on June 28. .
“There are three of us in this photo,” she captioned the picture, in which she wore a black leather jacket over a flowing pink mini dress with crystal embellishments.
Mara was soon showered with congratulatory messages from her fans and other celebrities.
Her “10 Years” co-star, Jenna Dewan, wrote, “Awwww congratulations loves!!!!”
Actor Michael B. Jordan, who starred alongside Mara and Bell in the 2015 blockbuster “Fantastic Four,” commented with three star emojis.
“American Hustle” star Michael Pena wrote: “Congratulations!!!”
Mara and Bell began dating in 2015 after starring together in “Fantastic Four,” in which they played Sue Storm and Ben Grimm, respectively.
The couple is already the father of a daughter born in 2019. Bell also shares son Jack, 8, with ex-wife Evan Rachel Wood.
Mara’s path to motherhood has not been easy. Back in June 2019, she revealed during an appearance on Dr. Elliot Berlin’s “Informed Pregnancy” podcast that she had suffered a miscarriage in her first pregnancy.
She said at the time that the loss colored her second pregnancy with her daughter, because while she was excited there was also “an element of fear.”
According to a 2021 editorial published in the medical journal The Lancet, an estimated 23 million miscarriages occur worldwide each year, and one in ten women experience a pregnancy loss in her lifetime.
