The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Jen Affleck is pregnant and expecting her third baby with husband Zac Affleck.
“I’ve always dreamed of a big family, and seeing that dream come true is both exciting and fulfilling,” Jen shared with People in an interview published Tuesday, February 11. “It can be daunting to think about raising three babies while pursuing my career, but I want to show women and mothers that they can achieve anything they set their minds to, no matter how unrealistic it may seem.”
Jen — who shares daughter Nora, 3, and 19-month-old son Lucas with Zac — said the pregnancy came as a surprise for the couple.
“I was a few days late, and while it was a surprise, we both had a feeling there was another baby waiting for us,” she shared with the publication. “We were very excited, there were a lot of emotions after a very crazy year!”
