Lena Headey is preparing to welcome a little bundle of joy this summer. The "Game of Thrones" actress confirmed to People magazine that she is expecting her second baby but did not reveal who the child's father is.
"I'm happy to confirm that I'm having my second child this summer," she told People. "I only hope that this announcement can help me to regain some of the privacy I have recently lost to prying photographers and ask that they please respect my privacy and let me enjoy this time."
Headey is already a mom to 4-year-old Wylie with ex-husband Peter Loughran. The two split in 2013 after six years of marriage. Back in December, rumors surfaced that the 41-year-old, who plays Cersei Lannister on the HBO series, was dating her "Thrones" costar Pedro Pascal (Oberyn Martell).
At the time, the Daily Mail reported that the two were spotted on a date at The Grove and were being touchy-feely with each other. Headey has also posted a few photos of the two together on her Instagram page.
During a Reddit Q&A with fans, Pascal gushed about his close friendship with Headey, writing, "Lena is one my favorite persons. And she is so funny and so smart, such a good person, a good friend and a good mother, I think everyone on that set and anyone who comes in contact with her develops an instant crush. Talk about male or female, you're going to get a crush on her easy. And I was just lucky that I got to work with her and hit it off and continue being friends."
The fifth season of "Game of Thrones" returns April 12 on HBO.
