Pretty Little Liars actress Shay Mitchell is pregnant with her second child.
Shay announced that she is expecting her second child with long term boyfriend Matte Babel as she shared a series of sweet snaps to her Instagram profile.
Posting to her 32million followers, Shay reflected on her pregnancy as she also remembered her gram who recently passed.
Shay wrote: “Saying goodbye to a loved one while simultaneously experiencing the joy of welcoming another into this world is the great cycle of life.”

She added
: “It is also my most challenging season to date. I can’t help but think this was the universe’s plan all along, knowing I would need other wordly joy to cushion the blow of losing one of the most important people in my life.
“Yet, this is proof that love, life and loss can profoundly exist all at the same time.
“Gram, I miss you every day. Little one, we’re so excited to meet you.
“I breathe a sigh of peace knowing you two are already connected in such a cosmic way.”
Shay was immediately showered with love on Instagram as thousands of her followers flocked in to show their support.
One person wrote: “Congratulations! Yay so excited for you.”
While another added: “Beautiful. This caption, these pictures!”
A third person chirped: “So beautiful Shay. We are so excited for you, Matte and Atlas. Congratulations!”
Her beau Matte also commented on the photo with a sweet emoji directed as his long term partner.
Shay and Matte already have two-year-old daughter Atlas together, with Shay announcing her pregnancy shortly after she wrapped filming for Pretty Little Liars permanently.

The star later went to appear in season one of hit Netflix series You.
Shay previously opened up about criticism she received after giving birth to her daughter Atlas in October 2019.
She told Women’s Health: “Right after I had Atlas, if I ever made a comment about how I didn’t feel like myself, people were like, ‘Well, you just had a baby,'”.
“Yeah, I know I just had a baby. I’m very grateful for my body, and that it gave life, but I’m still allowed to express that I don’t feel like myself.”
Ultimately Shay ignored all negative comments and shared life with her daughter as she wished – and now she’s turning her little family into a family of four.
