The 34-year-old actress and lifestyle blogger is expecting a second son with husbandKyle Martino, she announcedin a videotitled “Gender Reveal!” and anaccompanying blog poston Monday.
In photos from the big reveal, the mom-to-be, NBC Sports analyst Martino and their two kids — sonMajor James, 2½, and daughterMarlowe Mae, 5 — gather around as Amurri Martino pops a balloon reading “BABY is a … ” and celebrate as blue and gold heart-shaped confetti pours out.
“I’m beyond thrilled, and feel this is the perfect combination for our family,” she writes. “I can’t wait to snuggle another little boyfriend, and I absolutely love that Marlowe is still my only girl. We love going on special ‘girls’ trips’ togetherand from the moment I got pregnantI was secretly hoping that those trips could remain just the two of us.”
“I also love that Major now gets to be the ‘Big’ to another boy,” Amurri Martino adds. “I can imagine him being such a gentle and caring big brother, and I love that this little man gets to learn from such a sweet soul. I always had a sense that another boy would complete our family.”

Amurri Martino writes that she got “the test results WAY earlier than I expected” — and that the couple decided on a balloon for the revealas opposed to a cake likeshe had for Major because “I wanted all four of us to see the gender instantly, at the same time.”
“She decided shewanted it to be a girl, but she[thought] it was a boy. I asked her how she would feel if it turned out to be a boy like she thought it was,” Amurri Martino goes on. “Her response: ‘Oh Mom, it doesn’t matter if it’s a boy or a girl, it’s OUR BABY! That’s the best part!’ Oh Marlowe Mae, my teacher of teachers. I love her.”
