Congratulations are in order for action star Milla Jovovich and her husband, producer and director Paul W.S. Anderson, who are expecting their second child. The Resident Evil actor recently made an announcement on Facebook that the couple had just found out that they were pregnant.
“Happy Monday everyone! This was originally going to be a post to tell you how excited I am about flying to Cape Town, South Africa to begin working on Resident Evil: The Final Chapter. But… My husband Paul and I just discovered that we are expecting another baby!!!” Jovovich wrote on August 18.
She went on to tell fans that filming of the next Resident Evil movie would be pushed back due to her pregnancy. Expressing concerns over the grueling stunts that she would have to perform, she revealed that she and her husband had made the decision to wait for the baby to be born before shipping Jovovich off to South Africa for filming. “Between the stunt work and what will become my ever-expanding belly, we didn’t think pregnancy and zombie killing are the best combo! Lol! I imagine the only thing I’ll be killing in the near future is an endless supply of cupcakes. Yikes…” Jovovich joked.

Anderson is the producer of the Resident Evil franchise, and he met Jovovich on set when they filmed the first movie together in 2002. They married in 2009, two years after having their first child, Ever Gabo Anderson, in 2007. Jovovich is no doubt happy that she is making her six-year-old daughter Ever a big sister, as she previously told Hello! Magazine, “I want to have a baby and that is my number one priority. If I don’t do it now, it will get more difficult the older I get. I have to do it before [Ever] is too old to enjoy it. I don’t have all the time in the world to think about it.”
