KUALA LUMPUR: Actress Raja Ilya is now five months pregnant with her second child.
In a Harian Metro report today, the 38-year-old said she had initially planned to have another kid next year before she turned 40, but was still grateful to be blessed with an earlier pregnancy.
"It is my husband and the in-laws who are most ecstatic about this good news. My sister-in-law is also expecting and both of us are due to give birth with only a month's gap between the two deliveries," said Raja Ilya who is due in October.
"Even my daughter Talita Love is also excited to welcome her younger sibling. She's been rubbing my belly every morning, as if to greet the baby," added the artiste who now resides in Perth, Australia.
Raja Ilya said she'd be doing an ultrasound scan to determine the baby's gender in July.
She married Australian businessman Trent Garrett, 43, in 2013 and they welcomed their firstborn two years ago.
