Baby No. 2 for Alyson Hannigan, Alexis Denisof

Noel Vasquez/FilmMagic

Looks like Alyson Hannigan is ready for another lottery win!

The How I Met Your Mother star, 37, and husband Alexis Denisof are expecting their second child, her rep confirms to PEOPLE.

The confirmation comes three months after Hannigan took to Twitter to shoot down pregnancy rumors when she was spotted leaving Malibu’s Chili Cook Off with a noticeable bump.

Already parents to daughter Satyana Marie, 2½, the actress — whose new movie American Reunion is due out next year — admitted last April that the couple were unsure as to whether they would be expanding their family.

“We hit the jackpot with the first one. If you win the lottery, do you keep buying lottery tickets?” Hannigan mused. “Or just enjoy the lottery you won?”

So freaking excited for Aly and Alexis! And at least they don’t have to hide it on HIMYM! (Pretty convenient too.) And now it can stop bothering me why Lily was showing earlier than she should have been.

Congratulations to them!

Love them! In many articles she said she was most likely not going to have any more but it was meant to be that they have another one!!

Yaaaaayyyyyyy! Many congratulations!

- Elizabeth on December 16th, 2011

So excited for her! Satyana is so cute! I’m sure this one will also be cute. So lucky it is lining up with her pregnancy storyline on HIMYM too! She won’t have to hide her belly this time!

- Aura Lee on December 16th, 2011

Love this family. And loved that she just posted on twitter: “Yes I am pregnant. This time it is not a food baby.” LOL Love Alyson, Alexis and Satyana!

Congrats!

- Alexia on December 16th, 2011

YAAAAAAAY!!!! *so* excited right now!!!!!!! Seriously, never been happier for people i don’t even know

- Maddie on December 16th, 2011

Ahh, congratulations to Alyson and Alexis! This is great news, I’m so happy for them!

- alicejane on December 16th, 2011

congrats to the happy parents and by the way she doesn’t look 37

Tracy- This is a website about celebrity babies. Of course people are going to be commenting about celebrity pregnancies!

Anyway, congrats to Alyson and Alexis! I wonder when she’s due? And does anyone else think that it was rather insulting of PEOPLE to say this: “The confirmation comes three months after Hannigan took to Twitter to shoot down pregnancy rumors when she was spotted leaving Malibu’s Chili Cook Off with a noticeable bump.”?

To me, that sounds like they were insiuniating that she was lying when she said she wasn’t pregnant (which, after seeing her Twitter comment and the post on this thread about the one she made recently about it not being a “food baby” this time, I don’t think she was). The media needs to learn that having what looks like a bump doesn’t always mean a woman is expecting!

Congrats! I love them! They both seem like such great and loving parents and Satyana is one of the cutest little girls. I wish them all the best.

- Nella on December 16th, 2011

That’s great! Congrats to them!

- Brooklyn on December 16th, 2011

I don’t even think it matters if she was lying or not. Personally, I think that a celebrity has every right to deny their pregnancy if it is still within that first 12 weeks. They definitely deserve privacy if they want it.

Congrats to the family! So exciting.

- Meaghan on December 16th, 2011

Congratulations!!! I love this family! This will be another cute and happy child!

- Mariana on December 16th, 2011

Ha! I was wondering when they’d have their second. Knew it wouldn’t be so far away

- Tara on December 16th, 2011

Congrats!

- Donna on December 16th, 2011

Countdown until Cobie Smulders announces her second pregnancy…

- Kris on December 16th, 2011

Awesome! And I agree, it explains why Lily was showing so early!!

- Jessie on December 16th, 2011

She’s so beautiful…. lucky man. they look so happy. Bet they have some AWESOME little people…. Congrats guys!

- Crusader on December 17th, 2011

WOW didn’t expect this …. Congratulations To Alyson, Alexis and Satyana

- Bancie1031 on December 17th, 2011

Such great news! Best wishes for a happy and healthy pregnancy

- Bugsmum on December 17th, 2011

BIG CONGRATS!! another cutie on the way

- Lyl on December 17th, 2011

I just discovered the show How I met your mother and it’s hilarious, she’s a great actress! I thought her comment about the food baby was funny too, congrats to them!

- jessicad on December 17th, 2011

how exciting! she seems like such a sweet mom. can’t wait to see their new baby and hear the name

- katie on December 17th, 2011

Awesome! I wonder if they will be playing that into the show or is she too early yet? I wasn’t sure if she was wearing a baby bump on the show if it was a home grown one : )

I love her and that show.

- LuvBigCity on December 17th, 2011

what do you mean – lily showing early? Some people do show earlier than others – no one is the same. Considering they knew the sex of the baby several shows ago, means lilly was pretty far along, which means she should have been showing at least a little.

- joan on December 17th, 2011

Yes!!!!!

- Harley on December 17th, 2011

I love that she’s married to Sandy Rivers LOL Can’t wait to see the giant bags and basketballs she carries around to hide the little nugget heheheh so fun! Congrats to her

- Trazey on December 17th, 2011

I’m over the moon. I love you guys, so much. A new baby can only double your joy. You WILL love them the same….Amount. Being 2 different people, means you’ll have to be on your toes more. lol. God has surely blessed you all. A great family. xoxo

- Kate McIlwain on December 17th, 2011

How exciting for them!!

- Carrie Jo on December 17th, 2011

Congrats, hope they pick a better name the second time around.

- Mira on December 17th, 2011

That is so awesome for them…best wishes…^_^

- RainbowStar on December 17th, 2011

Anonymous- I think they were referencing her tweet about this baby not being a food bump, and saying that when she came out of the restaurant she wasn’t pregnant because it was three months ago and she referenced it as such in her tweet. This doesn’t say when she was due, and since people usually announce after three months, I think it’s safe to say that they weren’t saying she was lying.

- crg on December 18th, 2011

love the show and was noticing the other day on re-runs that props and big bags were hiding her baby belly. I didn’t watch the show then, but am Addicted to it now.

I hope she has a boy

- kim on December 19th, 2011

Hurray!! My favorite celeb family is expanding, how exciting!

- B.J. on December 19th, 2011

I love them and their family and that they didn’t have a “plan” for their family. I understand why some need to (take for instance those who can’t get pregnant without help), but I have a distaste for the celebrities (ahem, Tori Spelling) who plan another right after the kid is born. It’s like take a breather people! Even my two who are only 13 months apart (she was born premature), we weren’t like “ok, we got this one, when’s the next one coming along?” It is so important to enjoy each child individually and enjoy the early years because it all happens so fast!

- Allison on December 19th, 2011

Yay, congrats! Anyone else notice the article was written by an “Anya?” Thought I’d point that out for fans.
