Milla Jovovich is expecting her third child with husband Paul W.S. Anderson.
The beloved Hellboy actress, 43, revealed the exciting news on Instagram writing, “Knocked up again.” The star, who is already mum daughters to Ever, 11, and Dashiel, 4, said she delayed announcing the news after losing her last pregnancy.
“After I found out I was pregnant 13 weeks ago, I had a mixture of feelings ranging between complete joy and utter terror,” she wrote. “Because of my age and losing the last pregnancy I didn’t want to get attached to this potential baby too quickly.”
“That was obviously not fun and the last few months have been my family and I living on pins and needles waiting for a slew of different test results to come in and spending most of our time in doctors offices.”
Now in the safe zone, she also revealed they’re expecting another girl!
“Thank goodness we’re in the clear AND we found out that we’ve been blessed with another girl! Anyway, wish me and my baby luck! I send you all a lot of love and I’ll keep you posted on my progression!” she added.
Her exciting baby news comes just a few months after she had an “emergency” abortion at four and a half months pregnant. The actress, who was shooting a movie in Eastern Europe at the time, said she was nearly halfway through her pregnancy when she went into preterm labor.
“I went into preterm labor and was told that I had to be awake for the whole procedure,” she wrote on Instagram. “It was one of the most horrific experiences I have ever gone through. I still have nightmares about it. I was alone and helpless. When I think about the fact that women might have to face abortions in even worse conditions than I did because of new laws, my stomach turns.”
She continued: “I spiralled into one of the worst depressions of my life and had to work extremely hard to find my way out,” she said. “I took time off of my career. I isolated myself for months and had to keep a strong face for my two amazing kids. I started gardening, eating healthier and going to the gym every day because I didn’t want to jump into taking antidepressants unless I had tried every other alternative. Thank God I was able to find my way out of that personal hell without turning to medication, but the memory of what I went through and what I lost will be with me till the day I die.”
