By Staff Author Updated on December 2, 2020 03:24 PM Share Tweet Pin Email Reese Witherspoon turns 36 on Thursday, but she’s already received the gift she’d long hoped for: a new baby is on the way! After weeks of speculation — whipped up after the actress sported a series of loose, bump-concealing frocks — several Witherspoon pals confirm that yes, the Oscar winner and her husband of almost one year, Hollywood talent agent Jim Toth, are expecting their first child together. “They are both thrilled,” a friend tells PEOPLE. Already a mom to daughter Ava, 12, and son Deacon, 8, whom she had with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe, Witherspoon had spoken in the past of her desire to expand her family.“I would love to have more kids,” she told Britain’s Closer in January. “My children are the best part of my day.” Toth, whom she married last March in a country-chic ceremony at the actress’s ranch in Ojai, Calif., “has always wanted kids,” adds the friend. “He adores Ava and Deacon.” Now the whole family is eagerly anticipating their new addition. “Jim and Reese are looking forward to having a bigger family at this point in life,” says the friend. “They can take the time to enjoy the next stage and make sure the transition for all is easy and joyful.” — Alison Schwartz and Michelle Tauber Related Articles Reese Witherspoon Expecting Baby No. 3 Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe Celebrate Son Deacon's Graduation with Backyard Commencement Reese Witherspoon Celebrates Wedding Anniversary with Husband Jim Toth: '11 Years of Adventures' Reese Witherspoon Wears Bunny Ears with Husband Jim Toth on Easter: 'Traditions Are Important' Reese Witherspoon Pays Tribute to Husband Jim Toth on Valentine's Day: 'Love My Valentine' Reese Witherspoon's Growing Baby Bump!
