Keira Knightley is expecting baby number two!

The Aftermath actress, 34, revealed she is set to welcome her second child with husband James Righton, 35, as she debuted her baby bump at the Chanel J12 cocktail party in Paris.

Knightley showcased her growing bump as she headed to the event in an elegant cream and nude dress.

She was then snapped lovingly cradling her stomach as she arrived with Righton.

Standard Online has contacted representatives of Knightley for comment.

The couple, who tied the knot back in 2013, are also parents to four-year-old daughter Edie.

The revelation comes after the Love Actually star got candid on how “f****** difficult” it can be balancing her career and being a mother.

Earlier this year, she told Balance magazine: “I don’t think we give women enough credit for the physical and emotional marathon they go through when becoming a mother.

“I come from a place of amazing privilege. I have an incredible support system. I’ve been unbelievably lucky in my career, I can afford good childcare, and yet I still find it really f****** difficult.”

The star added that she had to endure countless sleepless nights while also managing the feeling of failure.

“It’s ok to say that. It doesn’t mean I don’t love my kid, it’s just me admitting that the sleep deprivation, the hormonal changes, the shift in relationship with my partner, are all things that make me feel as if I’m failing on a daily basis,” she said. “I have to remind myself that I haven’t failed, I’m just doing what I can do, but it’s not easy.”
