You really don’t want to miss Jenna Ushkowitz’s exciting life update. 

After all, the Glee actress—who played Tina in the iconic Ryan Murphy series—just shared that she’s pregnant with her and husband David Stanley’s second baby. 

“Baby #2 on the way,” Jenna wrote in a June 28 Instagram post. “We are pregnant and so excited and grateful. It has been a journey, (I will share more soon) but in the meantime, enjoying this exciting time.”

Jenna and David—who have been married since 2021—already share 2-year-old daughter Emma, and the That’s What You Really Missed podcast host noted that her second go-around has her feeling much more “confident” and “relaxed.”

“It was truly like a head-spinning experience of how different it was,” she reflected of her first pregnancy to People in an article published June 28. “You're not going through the same journey every time because every kid is different. And so it was definitely something that I didn't expect at all.”

And the Tony winner also gave insight into how her daughter is feeling about becoming a big sister, explaining that while she doesn’t fully get it, she “understands that there's a baby in mommy's belly.”

“She'll figure it out real soon," Jenna posited. “She says, 'I'm a big girl. I'm a big sister.' And she understands ‘baby.’ So to an extent, she knows what's going on.”

As for how Jenna and David reacted to the news of their growing family? Jenna had a hunch she was going to be pregnant—even before she took a test.

“I was like, ‘Something feels very familiar about this feeling and let me just take this test,’” she recalled. “I did. And when ‘Pregnant’ came up, my jaw dropped. I was shocked. And then overjoyed, of course.”

And her husband similarly had a sixth sense about the excitement. 

“He was upstairs, and so he came down the stairs, I still had a look of shock on my face, and he was like, ‘No way,’” she gushed. “He just knew and he was just so, so happy.”
