Liv Tyler has confirmed that she is pregnant with her second child.

There had been rumours the Lord Of The Rings star was expecting a baby with her partner Dave Gardner, after she was spotted out in baggy clothes and seemed to be hiding her tummy from photographers, and her rep has now told People that it's true.

A source said the couple are "thrilled with the news".

Leftovers actress Liv, 37, is already mum to nine-year-old son Milo from her former marriage with Royston Langdon.

Liv and Dave, who is good friends with David Beckham, have known each other for some time after apparently being introduced by model Kate Moss.

However, the actress didn't start dating the sports and entertainment manager until this year.
