She had previously told Hello magazine that she was keen to expand her brood so that Aaliyah, who was born in 2015, could have a sibling.
“It's all about timing, but I would really love to have a second child and for Aaliyah to have a sibling, to have a friend in the world,” she said.
“My husband and I love being parents and Aaliyah makes us so happy. She's fun, kind and affectionate - and a mummy's girl.”
