Kerry Washington is pregnant and expecting her second child with husband Nnamdi Asomugha, Us Weekly can confirm.
The
actress, 39, debuted the first signs of a baby bump while walking the
red carpet at the United Way of Greater Los Angeles Women’s Summit on
Monday, April 25.
Almost
exactly two years earlier, on April 21, 2014, Washington and her former
NFL cornerback hubby, 34, welcomed their first child, daughter Isabelle
Amarachi Asomugha, now 2. The couple tied the knot in a secret wedding
ceremony in Hailey, Idaho, back in June 2013.
In a cover story interview for the April 2016 issue of Elle, the Emmy-nominated beauty opened up about how playing Olivia Pope on her hit series Scandal prepped her for motherhood.
“Even
though Olivia Pope has obviously made the decision that she is not a
mom,” Washington said, referencing Pope’s choice to get an abortion,
“playing her made me feel like I could be a mom.
Because she knows
there’s always another way—there’s always a way to fix it, there’s
always a way to solve it, to win.”
She
added to the fashion magazine: “I feel like playing her made me feel
like, ‘All right, I can do it. I will figure out how to juggle it all.’”
