"We're as happy as we were surprised by this wonderful news!" the couple said in a statement. "We haven't slept since 2013 and welcome advice from all parents who survived Two Under Two."

Cook and Gillies married in August 2004, and welcomed Charlotte in September 2013. The actor declared his daughter "the greatest thing ever" when he spoke to Us Weekly in March 2014, and called the baby "a happy, beautiful kid."

Cook is known for such films as She's All That, Antitrust and Josie and Pussycats. She has since appeared as Abigail Lytar on USA detective series Psych, and currently stars as Kate Moretti on TNT crime drama Perception.

Gillies played John Jameson in Spider-Man 2, and Johnny Wickham in Bride and Prejudice. He currently portrays Elijah Mikaelson on The CW series The Vampire Diaries and spin-off The Originals, and Dr. Joel Goran on NBC medical drama Saving Hope.
