Hollywood actress Jennifer Garner has finally confirmed that she is pregnant and expecting her second child with husband Ben Affleck.

It has long been rumored that the ‘Alias’ actress is expecting her second child with husband Affleck. Though some close friends talked about her swollen belly, the couple had so far refused to comment.

“Access Hollywood” spotted Garner at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles on Wednesday, where she was assuming the hosting duties for the 10th anniversary celebration for Baby Einstein, a series of books, toys and DVDs that help parents interact with their children.

Jennifer confirmed to AH’s Tony Potts that that she and her screenwriter, director and actor hubby, Ben, are expecting their second child together. In response to a query whether she plans on more children, she smiled coyly and said, “Yeah, next year, I think I might have one.”

She said “Thank you,” when Potts congratulated her adding tat she and Affleck are “so excited, obviously. We’ve been through it before. It’s all good, it’s great. I’m really excited.”

The Emmy-nominated and Golden Globe- and SAG Award-winning actress however did not reveal when she’s due or if the baby’s a boy or a girl.

Garner even joked about speculation that’s been happening in the past weeks.
“It always makes me laugh when people say ‘Is she? Isn’t she?’ It’s like eventually you will know, so just chill out for a minute,” she said.
Victor Garber, who starred alongside Jennifer in ‘Alias’, last month had revealed that the actress is pregnant.

Garner and Ben, both 36, tied the knot in June 2005 and have a daughter named Violet, who was born in December 2005.

Violet Affleck was voted cutest celebrity baby in a Parade.com Pop-Culture Poll in 2007. She grabbed the title after beating out the likes of A-list offspring such as Suri Cruise, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt and Dannielynn Smith. The Pop-Culture Poll was conducted online from November through December 2007, with a sample of more than 2000 respondents.

The celebrity couple reportedly has bought a $16 million house in Los Angeles. According to the reports surfaced early this month, the seven-bedroom, traditional-style home is in Brentwood and not far from where Ricki Lake and Tobey Maguire live.

In June, reports about their split-up made rounds on the net, which later were abruptly denied by Garner’s publicist, who called the reports “100 percent completely fabricated.”
