Back in December, Chris and Katherine announced the news that they are expecting a baby together for the second time a when Katherine shared a picture of her baby bump to Instagram.

Upon the birth of their daughter Lyla back in August 2020, Chris said: "We are beyond thrilled to announce the birth of our daughter, Lyla Maria Schwarzenegger Pratt. We couldn't be happier!"

Katherine recently revealed Lyla has been "nesting" in preparation for welcoming a sibling into the world.

She wrote on Instagram: “The latest toddler treats I find around the house… all her babies and stuffies are wearing diapers and bandaids. Mamas girl is nesting [heart smiley emoji].

One of the items - a doll - was an heirloom the author herself has had since babyhood.

She added that the "doll to the left was bought when I was born and is doing well 32 years later.”
