LOS ANGELES, Sept. 23 (UPI) -- Longtime couple Pharrell Williams and Helen Lasichnanh are expecting baby No. 2.

The 43-year-old singer's rep confirmed Lasichnanh is pregnant after the 36-year-old model debuted her baby bump at Chanel's No. 5 L'Eau celebration Thursday in Los Angeles.

Lasichnanh showed off her growing belly in a long-sleeved striped dress at the event. She and Williams welcomed their first child, son Rocket, in 2008, and married in Miami, Fla., in 2013.

"[They've] been wanting another child for a while," a source told E! News.

Williams had explained to Oprah Winfrey in 2014 that he named Rocket after "a man-made machine that was meant to go up, meant to ascend." He later told reporters that having his son has "changed [his] world."

"My son teaches me, it's crazy, he teaches me about games," the singer said while discussing his role as curator for the NBA 2K15 soundtrack.

"This is one of those times in your life when you're thinking about that one interview when someone asked you a serious question and that just hit me now, when you asked me about my son and my answer to you is, 'He teaches me.' Like, that's bizarre to me," he shared.

Williams last released the album Girl in 2014 and appeared as a coach on The Voice the same year. He released a children's book, Happy, based on his hit song of the same name in October.
