James Bond actress Rosamund Pike is pregnant with her second child.
The 35-year-old is expecting with long-time boyfriend Robie Uniacke, 53, her rep confirmed to E! News on Thursday.
The couple, who are already parents to a two-year-old son called Solo, have been together since 2009.

The actress started dating the businessman, a twice married father of four who is 18 years older than her, three years before announcing her first pregnancy.
Eton educated Uniacke, a former heroin addict, was previously married to Emma Howard, 59, daughter of the late Earl of Carlisle with whom he has a son also called Robie.
The marriage ended unhappily and both checked into rehab clinics to deal with their addictions. His second wife, Rose Batstone, is an interior designer with whom he has three children.

Rosamund had previously hinted that marriage may not necessarily be for her, telling Vogue in 2012: 'It is interesting to break all the rules. I'm not married, I have a baby, and it feels infinitely more right.'
The pretty blonde, who will next be seen in Gone Girl, is perhaps best known for her role in James Bong film Die Another Day.
Speaking to W magazine recently, London born Rosamund admitted the sudden transition from unknown actress to internationally recognised star was overwhelming.

'The Bond film was like an ejector seat from normality into a crazy circus world,' she said. 'It was trial by fire. I was 21, and I was made to look far more sophisticated than I felt. Instantly, I had to come to terms with myself as a woman and also as an object.
'I was looking at myself from the outside for the first time. That awareness, for any girl, is both horrible and fascinating.'
Roles in big budget studio movies Jack Reacher and Wrath Of The Titans have helped broaden her appeal with American audiences, but it is her forthcoming portrayal of Amy Elliot Dunne in director David Fincher's adaptation of Gone Girl, the bestselling novel by Gillian Flynn, that could cement her international status when it is released on October 3.
A spokesperson for Rosamund has been contacted for comment.
