BEIJING, Aug. 22 -- Jennifer Garner has confirmed she
is pregnant.
The 'Alias' actress has long been rumoured to be
expecting her second child with husband Ben Affleck, and despite close friends
speaking out, the couple had so far refused to comment.
However, she revealed the happy news to Access
Hollywood on Wednesday, saying: "Thank you, we're so excited obviously. We've
been through it before. It's all good, it's great. I'm really excited."
Jennifer - who has a two-year-old daughter Violet
with Ben - at first remained coy, joking that: "Oh I'm not pregnant. I just had
a lot of carbs for breakfast. It's just ? what do they call it? A breakfast
pouch? Bunch?"
She then admitted she had enjoyed recent speculation
about the reason behind her expanding stomach, adding: "It always makes me laugh
when people say, 'Is she?' 'Isn't she?' It's like eventually you will know, so
just chill out for a minute."
Close family friend Victor Garber, who starred
alongside Jennifer in 'Alias' and officiated at the couple's wedding in 2005,
first revealed the actress was pregnant last month. When asked if recent
speculation was true and Jennifer was pregnant, he replied: "Yes she is."
