Alec and Hilaria Baldwin

Alec Baldwin's wife is pregnant.

Hilaria Baldwin took to her Instagram page on New Year's Day (01.01.15) to announce she is expecting the couple's second child together by posting a picture of Alec holding their 16-month-old daughter Carmen who is seen touching her mother's baby bump on a beach in front of a beautiful sunset.

The brunette beauty added the caption: "The sun has set on 2014 and on my year of daily#hilariaypd ....2015 is going to be very exciting as we are thrilled to announce we are expecting another little addition to our family! (tadasana)#yogapostureoftheday (sic)"

The news will come as little surprise to fans of the couple - who married in June 2012 - as Alec recently admitted his 30-year-old wife is keen to have another baby in the near future.

When the 56-year-old actor - who also has daughter Ireland, 19, with ex-wife Kim Basinger - was asked if the couple are planning to have any more children, he said: "We'll see. Hilaria definitely thinks we should have one more, but we'll see what happens."

Since the pair had their daughter, Alec has admitted he rarely goes out anymore because he much prefers to stay at home with Hilaria and Carmen.

He said: "I choose to stay home with my wife and daughter. Going out - there's not a whole lot of that anymore."
