There’s another baby on the way for Neal McDonough!

The actor, 45, and his wife Ruvé proudly showed off her growing baby bump on Tuesday while attending the premiere of his new film Captain America: The First Avenger in New York City.

Due mid-August, McDonough reveals they’re expecting a girl — the couple are already parents to son Morgan Patrick, 5½, and daughters Catherine Maggie, 4, and London Jane, 18 months — and couldn’t be happier.

“We feel extremely blessed beyond belief. She’s ready, this hasn’t been the easiest pregnancy, but we’re all excited,” he tells PEOPLE.

“My son Morgan and I will be in the McDonough House of Estrogen, but we wouldn’t have it any other way.”

Congrats to them..Can’t wait to hear the name..Looks like they tend to stick to more “regular” names, which I think is great..

- Becky on July 21st, 2011

kate can’t read!!!! hes an actor. congrats to the family. many years of health and happiness!!!!

- alexa on July 21st, 2011

Congratulations to them! Although his character creeped me out on Desperate Housewives, I like Neal.

And I can’t wait to hear the baby’s name! I love all the ones they chose for their older kids.

He was on Desperate Housewives.

two sets of irish twins! That kid is going to be cute

- guest on July 21st, 2011

@Kate…Neal played Lt. Buck Compton in Band of Brothers.

- Texasgirl on July 21st, 2011

kate, do you not know how to read? He’s an actor. And even if that weren’t in the original post, it would take less time to google him yourself than it does to post an obnoxious comment.

Love Neal! Great actor!!! I am so happy for them!

- Jennifer on July 21st, 2011

I thought Irish twins had to be less than a year apart? They’ll have 2 sets of children close in age, but I don’t think Irish twins is the right terminology.

- Pamela on July 21st, 2011

They don’t have one set of Irish twins, let alone expecting another set.

- Jillian on July 21st, 2011

Yes- Irish twins must be born within 12 months of each other (365 days or less). Their kids will be close together but NOT Irish twins.

As for Neal – He did a fantastic job in Band of Brothers. Such a powerful series and you should watch it if you haven’t already!

- Adey on July 21st, 2011

@ Kate. He is an actor who works pretty steadily in television and movies (Desperate Housewives, Boomtown, Band of Brothers, Tin Man, Flags of our Fathers, The Guardian, Minority Report, 88 Minutes etc, etc)

He’s not a reality star so maybe that’s why you don’t recognize him.

Congrats to the happy family!

- Violet on July 21st, 2011

I too think that Irish Twins means 2 kids within a year, they will just have 2 kids under 2, (for the second time)

- Guest on July 21st, 2011

Congratulations to the happy parents! And to the folks at People, could y’all please STOP using the phrase “baby bump?” It has to be one of the most annoying, stupid, overused phrases ever. Surely your writers can come up with some other ways of describing a celebrity’s pregnancy or impending parenthood.

- Susan on July 21st, 2011

He is also in the new Captain America movie.

- Melissa on July 21st, 2011

He was also in Walking Tall with the Rock..The one thing that makes him a good person (in my opinion) is that he lost a job on a new show called Scoundrels, because he refused to do sex scenes..To me that says that he’s a good guy..

- Becky on July 21st, 2011

Aww congrats to them! It must be fun to have 3 little girls close in age and a big brother!

- Erika on July 21st, 2011

Becky, “the one thing that makes him a good person,” seriously……only one thing? He seems like a great guy or did I miss something?

- Jillian on July 21st, 2011

Becky, some people just aren’t comfortable doing sex scenes; it doesn’t mean he’s a good guy. And it doesn’t mean people who do sex scenes are not good people.

- dsfg on July 22nd, 2011

Congrats! I’m thinking boy… but I’m always wrong. @dsfg re-read Becky’s comment.

- 12kewkadook on July 22nd, 2011

I just reread the article = girl. Well, I did say I was always wrong!

- 12kewkadook on July 22nd, 2011

12kewkadook
reread dsfg’s comment……she is spot on!

- Jillian on July 23rd, 2011

dsfg and Becky, I think you’re both right. Doing a sex scene doesn’t have anything to do with whether or not you’re a good person. But standing up for what you believe in even if it costs you is a mark of a good person.

Becky said, “.The one thing that makes him a good person (in my opinion) is that he lost a job on a new show called Scoundrels, because he refused to do sex scenes..To me that says that he’s a good guy..”

So, you don’t agree with her…..right? Dsfg, said it best…..just bc you say yes doesn’t make you a bad person and just bc you say no doesn’t make you a good person. None of us know the whole story behind why he didn’t do it……maybe his wife wouldn’t let him. Either way, it doesn’t make a person good or bad.

@ I must’ve been tired when I commented before!

- 12kewkadook on July 25th, 2011

@Anonymous I mean…

- 12kewkadook on July 25th, 2011

He was a major player in Band of Brothers. He looks exactly the same for heaven’s sake.

- Mia on July 26th, 2011

What is it with these people? Are the earth’s resources so infinite that it’s ok to keep cranking out baby after baby? Has anyone noticed that the earth’s population has increased exponentially, but its resources have not? This idiotic baby explosion, even among the uber rich, is no cause for celebration!

- DK on July 27th, 2011

Did anyone else roll their eyes and say “Oh that guy?” when they panned in on him in Captain America. Very unecessary movie role.

Meri you could have been less obnoxious yourself and just listed a few shows he’s been ininstead of snapping at someone. Sheesh.

- J on July 27th, 2011

I agree who the heck are they?

- DOTSmom on July 31st, 2011

LOVE his kids’ names!
