Actor Kellan Lutz, famously known for portraying the role of Emmett Cullen in The Twilight Saga film series, and his wife Brittany have announced the exciting news that they are expecting!

The couple went live on Instagram and ended the video by sharing the news that Brittany was pregnant! “This is not a drill. This is not a throwback,” Brittany said to which Kellan added, “This is real life… we’re pregnant again. For those that don’t know, we are pregnant.”

Kellan continued with a message to his fans, “Thank you all for lining with us, praying for us, supporting us. We’re so excited.” Brittany added, “It was a surprise. You know, obviously it was a surprise losing our daughter at the beginning of the year. That was tough, and still is. There still are hard moments. We definitely went through a lot and I still would like to share my journey in some way that I can in the future.”

Previously, the couple announced they were expecting in November of 2019. But the following February, six months into her pregnancy, Brittany shared the devastating news that she suffered a miscarriage.

Baby girl,⁣ It was my absolute honor and pleasure to be your mom these last 6 months. I did my best and it was an absolute joy seeing your little face all those times on that screen and feeling your tiny kicks. I don’t know why it happened the way it did, but part of me finds so much peace knowing you never experienced pain or heartache and never will. You’re in the arms of Jesus now and one day we will get to meet you for real. Until I see you in heaven… your mommy loves you so much. 💔⁣ ⁣ I’m not ready to talk about what happened, and I’m not sure I ever will. But I can say I am SO grateful for the most amazing husband who’s been by my side the entire time. I have the best most supportive family. The prayers from friends have meant everything. My incredible doctor and the amazing team at UCLA Medical Center who kept me alive are the real MVPs. And to all of you who donate blood- I have never been more grateful for you. Without you people like me wouldn’t be here. ⁣ ⁣ Thank you for respecting all of our privacy right now. Gonna take some time away to process and heal.
