When I was covering the NYC premiere of The Tourist last week, I noted that Paul Bettany’s wife Jennifer Connelly was looking especially pretty and healthy – she appeared to have put on some much-needed weight, and she just seemed to be glowing and lovely. Now we know why – she’s knocked up! Jennifer and Paul just announced that they are expecting their second child together – Jennifer gave birth to their son Stellan back in 2003. Jennifer also has an older son, Kai, from a relationship in her youth. Here’s the kicker: Jennifer is 40 years old! And Paul is 39 years old. Does anyone else get hot for two attractive people – who are the same age – in a loving relationship that includes babies every seven years or so? Forget the recent rash of breakups – I will be heartbroken if Jennifer and Paul ever split.

Jennifer Connelly and Paul Bettany are expanding their family. The actress, 40, is pregnant with her third child, her rep confirms to PEOPLE.

Connelly and The Tourist star Bettany, 39, are already parents to son Stellan, 7, as well as Kai, 13, from her previous relationship with David Dugan.

“Becoming a mother has made all the difference in terms of learning to take more responsibility for myself and my life,” she has said.

“Parenthood changed the way I do everything. The biggest thing for me is wanting my kids to grow up safely and have happy lives. To me, that’s enough.”

The couple, who met filming A Beautiful Mind, wed in Scotland in 2003.

Jennifer is such a lucky bitch. Of course, Paul is too, you know. He’s a corpsey, goony (hot) Englishman who hides his ginger and he scored a gorgeous American bird. For her part, Jennifer is a lucky bitch because Paul so obviously adores her and treats her like a princess. Sigh… I love this story.
