According to Just Jared, the couple will likely welcome a new baby at the end of this year or the very beginning of next year. The baby will be their second child, joining 3-year-old big sister Everleigh.
The 29-year-old will be a busy bee until the new arrival, with a slew of film projects on the horizon: The 1970s-set movie about the Florida drug trade called "Free Ride," co-starring Anna Paquin; the action film "Red Sky"; and "Code Name: Geronimo," an action adventure film that revolves around the Navy SEALS who hunted and killed Osama bin Laden.
Gigandet's happy news comes hot on the heels of baby news from two other happy celebrity couples. "Homeland" star Claire Danes and hubby Hugh Dancy confirmed that they are expecting their first child after nearly three years of marriage.
In addition, longtime lovebirds and recent newlyweds Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves also announced that they are expecting a new addition to their family. "Happy birthday America, more good news, Camila and I are expecting our 3rd child," McConaughey tweeted on Wednesday, the Fourth of July. "God bless, just keep livin."
The new baby will join their two other children, 2-year-old daughter Vida and son Levi, who turns 4 this week.
