The Perception star is expecting her second child with her husband, actor Daniel Gillies, her manager confirms to PEOPLE.
“We’re as happy as we were surprised by this wonderful news! We haven’t slept since 2013 and welcome advice from all parents who survived Two Under Two,” the couple joke in a statement.

On camera, "The Originals" star Daniel Gillies is serious and brooding, elegant and gentlemanly.
Off camera, he's the set's biggest jokester. His co-stars have repeatedly called him the funniest guy on set — Joseph Morgan recently told Yahoo TV about their hilarious, ongoing pranking battle. His witty, dry sense of humor often leaves the cast and crew in stitches.
So, it was no wonder when we emailed Gillies some questions about this week's epic Season 1 finale, airing at 8 p.m. on The CW, he couldn't resist cutting up a little. Seriously, we can understand why "The Originals" cast are constantly cracking — because we couldn't stop laughing ourselves while reading his answers!

Fans who saw the original version of “The Originals” encountered a surprise twist when the show premiered a beefed up version of its pilot last week on The CW. At the end of the episode, Daniel Gillies character, Elijah Mikaelson, was staked by his brother, Klaus (Joseph Morgan).
Klaus, the vampire/werewolf hybrid, did it because he believes Elijah, who has that great love of family (and is particularly pleased that Hayley is carrying Klaus’ miracle baby), is a weakness Marcel (Charles Michael Davis) can exploit.
Shortly before Daniel set off on his newest adventure – parenthood (he and his wife, Rachael Leigh Cook, welcomed a daughter just over a week ago), he spoke with Access about “The Originals” staking twist, and what could be next for the growing Mikaelson TV family.

“It’s a girl. The tiny new empress of my everything,”
Baby's got a name! Less than one week after giving birth to a happy, healthy baby girl, Rachael Leigh Cook and husband Daniel Gillies exclusively tell Us Weekly that they've decided upon a name: Charlotte Easton Gillies!
Cook, 34, and Gillies, 37, welcomed their bundle of joy to the world on Saturday, Sept. 28 at 9:02 a.m. at 6 lbs., 15 oz, the couple reveal.
"It's a girl. The tiny new empress of my everything," proud father Gillies shared his endearing thoughts with fans on Sunday, Sept. 29. "She's immaculate. We're delirious." This is the first child for both parents.
And both Cook and Gillies will have their hands full this fall, with Cook currently filming TNT series Perception (she plays special agent Kate Moretti), and Gillies playing Elijah in new Vampire Diaries spinoff The Originals (which premiered on Thursday, Oct. 3).
Us Weekly exclusively broke the news of the couple's expectant news in May. "I've been hiding my rapidly growing bump while shooting but this kiddo is vying for screen time," the actress told Us at the time. "We clearly have a future actor on our hands."
Cook and Gillies, who appeared together on Showtime's Broken Kingdom in May, tied the knot in August 2004.
"A lot of people are asking whether I'd prefer a boy or a girl," he told Us at the time. "In truth, it doesn't matter to me -- I just can't wait to meet little Keanu Robocop."
