Naomi Watts expecting her second child

As her best friend Nicole Kidman prepares to give birth any day now, actress Naomi Watts has revealed she's pregnant with her second child.

The 39-year-old Kent-born star is four months pregnant with her and partner Liev Schreiber's second child – just 10 months after giving birth to their son, Alexander.

The couple met in April 2005 and welcomed Alexander Pete in LA last year.

Naomi was born in Britain and lived here for 14 years, before moving to Australia, where she became pals with then co-model Nicole Kidman. The pair starred in the film Flirting together, along with Thandie Newton, before both moving to Hollywood.

Naomi made her big break in 2001's Mulholland Drive, and was nominated for a Best Actress Oscar and a BAFTA for her performance in 2004's 21 Grams.

She's currently taking time out from movies to focus on motherhood, and her next film, The International, isn't scheduled for release until 2009.

Naomi previously dated the late Heath Ledger, who died of a prescription drug overdose in January 2008.
