There must be something in the water this week, because everywhere we look celebrities are procreating. Just today, Claire Sweeney and Jennifer Ellison have tweeted their birth announcements – and now it’s being reported that Isla Fisher is pregnant for the third time.
According to Us Weekly, the actress has already sailed through her first trimester and is expecting a baby brother or sister for six-year-old daughter Olive and Elula, four.
Isla is said to have given up some of her work commitments because of her pregnancy, with a source telling the mag: “She pulled out of Now You See Me 2.
“Production starts in November and she knew she wouldn’t be able to do it.”
Isla, who is married to British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, has previously spoken about her desire for a busy family life.
She told one interview that that’s the reason why she prefers supporting roles over starring ones, explaining: “Family is 100 per cent my top priority. So I’m much more comfortable doing supporting roles right now.
“And often. They’re the most interesting. You get to be a character actress.”
A tentative congratulations to Isla and Sacha!
