Jennifer Affleck Announces Her Third Pregnancy
In an exciting revelation, Jennifer Affleck has announced that she is expecting her third child with husband Zac Affleck. The news comes as a delightful surprise for the couple, who are already parents to Nora, aged 3, and Lucas, aged 1. The announcement was made exclusively to People magazine, where the couple shared their unexpected journey into parenthood once again.
Reflecting on her pregnancy journey, Jennifer expressed that the news took them by surprise. “I was a few days late, and while it was a surprise, we both had a feeling there was another baby waiting for us,” she explained. She shared that the couple experienced a whirlwind of emotions after what had been a tumultuous year.
The couple’s two children are reportedly thrilled about the impending addition to their family. Jennifer mentioned that their daughter Nora is particularly hopeful for a sister, stating, “She really wants it to be a girl.” Meanwhile, Jennifer expressed her own intuition about the baby’s gender, sharing, “I have a strong feeling it’s a girl. I’ve dreamed about this little girl for a while now, and I truly believe she’s the one I’m carrying.”
Despite the joy surrounding the news, Jennifer admitted that her first trimester has been particularly challenging. She recounted experiencing a variety of symptoms, including nausea, fatigue, and emotional fluctuations. “I thought having two kids back-to-back was tough, but this has taken things to a whole new level,” she said. Jennifer also noted some intense cravings and aversions during this period. “All I wanted was pho and limes with salt!”
Preparing for Delivery
As she looks ahead, Jennifer is focusing on a positive delivery experience. She hopes for a “happy and healthy delivery” and is planning for a natural, unmedicated birth. “I never thought I would take this path, but I want to prove to myself how strong I am and what my body is capable of,” she stated.
Throughout this journey, Jennifer has acknowledged the significant support system surrounding her, emphasizing the importance of her family, her therapist, and her faith in navigating this new chapter.
In addition to her personal life, Affleck revealed that she and her husband are set to return for Season 2 of Hulu’s “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.” She described the filming process as mentally taxing, especially while dealing with the challenges of pregnancy and the scrutiny from the previous season. “Filming can be incredibly mentally draining, and adding pregnancy along with all the challenges I faced this last season was a big challenge,” she shared. “After dealing with the backlash from season 1 and stepping into season 2 with a lot of baggage, this pregnancy has been the toughest.”
