Hilary Duff reveals she is pregnant with her second child

Hilary Duff has announced she is expecting a child with her boyfriend Matthew Koma.

The actress revealed her exciting news just hours after her sister, Haylie, announced the birth of her second daughter on Friday.

Revealing that she is also preparing to welcome a daughter, Hilary posted on Instagram: ‘Guess what guys! @matthewkoma and I made a little princess of our own and we couldn’t be more excited!!!!!!’

Hilary accompanied the message with a sweet snap of herself and Matthew with their arms wrapped around each other, showing off a hint of her growing bump.

Matthew also shared the same image and captioned it: ‘We made a baby girl! She will be as beautiful and sweet as her mother... @hilaryduff another incredible chapter begins.’

This will be Hilary’s second child - as she already shares six-year-old son Luca with ex-husband Mike Comrie - and Matthew’s first.

She has been dating musician Matthew since early 2017, although the couple have split up twice during their romance.

In December, she confirmed on TV show The Talk that she and Matthew were back together after last splitting up in March 2017.

‘It’s going so great,’ she said, adding of their break-ups: ‘Timing is such a big deal… third time’s a charm!

‘I think that you have history and a past with someone and love, and just because it doesn’t work out the first time, the second time, as long as there’s not too much damage done, then, it can always work out again.’

Hilary appears to be getting in some practice looking after a newborn again, as she shared a sweet image of herself with her new niece shortly after announcing her pregnancy.

In the image, Hilary gazes adoringly at her older sister’s new daughter Lulu, captioning the snap: ‘Getting practice with Lulu’.

Haylie announced on Friday that she and fiancé Matt Rosenberg had welcome Lulu on June 5^th.

Sharing an adorable photo on Instagram of Lulu asleep in the arms of her big sister Ryan, Hayley captioned the sweet snap: ‘She arrived June 5th, and brought all her magic with her!

‘Ryan is the happiest big sister & we are finally a family of 4! Meet our littlest one… Lulu Gray Rosenberg!’
