"Yo. Susan. Me. Baby. Girl. November. Scorpio?" he tweeted.

Susan gave birth to the couple's first child, Exton Elias, in 2012.

"Um. I don't know if it's a 'man's world,' but I'm certain women run it," Downey added in a Facebook post. "Susan and I are therefore delighted to announce we are expecting a baby. Girl. November."

Downey's oldest son, Indio, was arrested last month on cocaine charges. Downey, who has struggled with addiction, said in a statement that the family was "we're all determined to rally behind him and help him become the man he's capable of being."
