On Wednesday, Jovovich, 43, announced the news on Instagram, with the message, “Knocked up again.”
Along with posting a pic of her growing baby bump, Milla wrote, “After I found out I was pregnant 13 weeks ago, I had a mixture of feelings ranging between complete joy and utter terror. Because of my age and losing the last pregnancy I didn't want to get attached to this potential baby too quickly.”
Milla isn't the only celebrity to get pregnant in her forties and beyond. Some other big names to give birth later in life include Janet Jackson, Halle Berry, Gwen Stefani, Nicole Kidman and Rachel Weisz.
“The last few months have been my family and I living on pins and needles waiting for a slew of different test results to come in and spending most of our time in doctors offices,” the 43-year-old continued. “Thank goodness we're in the clear AND we found out that we've been blessed with another girl!😆😂.”
The happy news comes just months after she revealed that she had an “emergency abortion" in 2017. In support of abortion rights, Milla wrote, “I went into pre term labor and told that I had to be awake for the whole procedure. It was one of the most horrific experiences I have ever gone through. I still have nightmares about it. I was alone and helpless. When I think about the fact that women might have to face abortions in even worse conditions than I did because of new laws, my stomach turns.”
Jovovich noted that the abortion had a huge effect on her mental health. She explained, “I spiraled into one of the worst depressions of my life and had to work extremely hard to find my way out. I took time off of my career. I isolated myself for months and had to keep a strong face for my two amazing kids. I started gardening, eating healthier and going to the gym every day because I didn't want to jump into taking antidepressants unless I had tried every other alternative. Thank God I was able to find my way out of that personal hell without turning to medication, but the memory of what I went through and what I lost will be with me till the day I die.”

She stressed, “Abortion is a nightmare at its best. No woman wants to go through that. But we have to fight to make sure our rights are preserved to obtain a safe one if we need to. I never wanted to speak about this experience. But I cannot remain silent when so much is at stake.”
Milla and Paul are already the parents of daughters Ever, 11, and Dashiel, 4.
