TORONTO — Actress Milla Jovovich announced Monday she is expecting her second child with her husband, director Paul W.S. Anderson.

The couple shared the happy news on Facebook.

“We thought it would be in everyone’s best interest to wait till the baby is born before we set out to try and tackle an RE movie,” she explained.

“Between the stunt work and what will become my ever-expanding belly, we didn’t think pregnancy and zombie killing are the best combo!”

Jovovich joked the only thing she will be killing in her near future will be “an endless supply of cupcakes.”

The 38-year-old star and her 49-year-old husband have been married since 2009 and have daughter Ever, who turns seven in November.

Jovovich was also in the city to make the 2006 drama .45 and Anderson shot this year’s epic Pompeii in Toronto.
