American actress, singer, songwriter, and model Leighton Meester is reportedly pregnant again. The ‘Gossip Girl’ star and her husband, actor Adam Brody of ‘The O.C.’ fame, are expecting their second child together. 

The Daily Mail obtained photos of the couple and their daughter, four-year-old Arlo Day Brody, out for a stroll on April 1, that seemed to confirm a very noticeable baby bump. The 33-year-old was seen in a pair of black overalls. The Daily Mail contacted Meester’s representatives to confirm the news but had not received a response at the time of writing this report. The couple, however, is known to keep a tight lid on personal affairs.

Meester and Brody met on the set of ‘The Oranges’ in 2011 and started dating in 2013. The couple got engaged in November 2013, and they got married a year later on February 15, 2014, in an intimate ceremony in Northern California. “It was a very small and intimate wedding with close family and friends. It was beautiful,” a source had then told E! News.

Since their wedding, the couple has shifted focus to speaking about their careers and keeping their relationship out of the spotlight. In May the following year, Meester was pregnant with her and Brody's first child. The couple welcomed their daughter Arlo Day later that year.

Speaking about their relationship, Brody told GQ last year, “She's more inherently private than I am. I don't seek publicity but if I'm sitting next to you on the subway, I'll tell you everything about me. We're homebodies. We don't go to a lot of things that perhaps we could and don't seek out promotion in that way. I'm not s**tting on anyone who monetizes that aspect of their life because I get it. But we've found this great balance so far that really works for us. We're also not very active on social media.”

Brody, talking to GQ about fatherhood, said in the same interview: “It's the best in every way… It just gives you a new perspective in the best way—something to focus on that's greater and more important than yourself.”
