Sophie Turner has finally broken the news that she's expecting her second child with husband Joe Jonas, and we couldn't be happier for them!
The couple welcomed her first daughter Willa in July 2020, and had since sparked speculation that they were pregnant with baby number two.
After showing off her clear baby bump for the first time at this year's Met Gala - dressed in Louis Vuitton, no less - Sophie confirmed her second pregnancy, describing it as "the best blessing ever."

Speaking to Elle about her growing family, Sophie revealed: "It’s what life is about for me – raising the next generation.
"The greatest thing in life is seeing my daughter go from strength to strength. We’re so excited to be expanding the family. It’s the best blessing ever."
The expecting mum went on to share why she has decided to keep her family life so private, despite having a career in the public eye.
"I’m very protective of the life we’ve built," she said. "Every time Joe and I do a red carpet together, we make sure it’s for the right reason and makes sense for our careers.
"You never want to market yourself as a celebrity couple. It’s not that cool. And my daughter never asked for any of this. I know what it can do to your mental health to be in this industry, and to be photographed every day and have the comments.
"It’s not something I want her to deal with unless she says, 'This is what I want to do.' We’re quite strict about that."
Before welcoming baby Willa back in 2020, Sophie and Joe first began dating in 2016.
Less than a year after confirming their relationship, the couple announced their engagement. It wasn't until 2019 that Joe and Sophie officially tied the knot in a secret ceremony in Las Vegas after the Billboard Music Awards.
Speaking to Elle about the surprise ceremony, Sophie said: "We went around inviting random people we’d met at the awards and were like, 'You can come, you can come...' It was so wild. So fun. So awesome!"
We're obsessed with everything this couple does!
