The Undateable star shared the news of her pregnancy with her husband, 36 Hours host Kyle Martino, during their daughter Marlowe’s first birthday party on Aug. 9.

Eva Amurri said she had been “feeling great” throughout the pregnancy and that she and Kyle were “scared and joyful at the same time” that Marlowe would become a big sister so soon.

“Two babies under two! I was filled with nervous excitement,” Eva said. “So amazed that Marlowe would have a sibling so close in age. Kyle and I hoped it was another girl.”
