Baby No.2 on the way for Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner

Hollywood couple Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are expecting their second child.

Garner's former Alias co-star Victor Garber, a close friend of the couple who officiated at their Caribbean wedding in 2005, confirmed the happy news to American magazine Us Weekly.

When asked if the 36-year-old actress was pregnant, Garber said: 'Yes, she is.'

The Juno star is rumoured to be five months pregnant with a sibling for their two-year-old daughter Violet.

Speaking of her wish to have another child in October, Garner gushed: 'We definitely wonder what it would be like to have another - hopefully, knock on wood, someday.

'My job is great to have as a mom. I get to take breaks and then work in a really concentrated way. During that concentrated time, it sucks, but whatever.'

Garner and Affleck started dating in July 2004 after splitting from Alias co-star Michael Vartan and Jennifer Lopez respectively.

After wedding in the Turks And Caicos in June 2005, their daughter Violet was born in Los Angeles five months later.
