The 9-1-1 actress, who is also mom to son Atticus James and Autumn James, says to PEOPLE on 18 May that the news comes as a welcome surprise. “We has always been open to a third but definitely didn’t think in the crazy year that the entire world was having that it would necessarily be this moment,” says Hewitt, adding, “I feel like we’ve been able to so far raise two really special kids who will be great role models. This has been such a pleasant, beautiful, surprising gift in this time to be able to get to do all that again with another little human.”
