Jason PriestleyJason Priestley and wife Naomi Lowde have confirmed they’re expecting their second child.

The former Beverly Hills 90210 star and make-up artist Naomi welcomed their first child, daughter Ava, in 2007 and rumours began to swirl about the impending arrival of a younger sibling for Ava this weekend, when Naomi was spotted out and about with a sizeable baby bump.

The actor’s publicist confirmed the news yesterday and a source close to the pair added: “They’re over the moon about it. They wanted to have another one before Ava got much older so it was perfect timing.”

The couple married in the Bahamas in May 2005 and the new baby is due in the summer.
