"I couldn't be more excited"
Heidi and Spencer Pratt are expecting their second child together.
The couple confirmed their baby is due later this year.
The reality stars have been trying to conceive for months. They are already parents to 4-year-old son Gunner Stone.
Speaking to
US Weekly about their baby news, the couple said they're overjoyed.
Heidi admitted she was concerned after trying to get pregnant for six months.
“I couldn’t be more excited. I don’t know who I’m the most excited for — myself or Gunner or Spencer,” she shared.
Heidi continued, "I just felt like something was missing."
She gushed. "I felt like a person was missing in our family that I had this intense love for. And I kept praying about it. I’m like, if I’m not meant to have another kid — because I had accepted that at this point."
"I just wanted to not have that desire so strong and I just wasn’t sure if it was going to happen or not. I just get so emotional about it.”
Heidi said she wanted to speak out about her struggle to conceive because it is something so many women struggle with.
"I think a lot of women struggle with this and it’s just not something a lot of people talk about because it’s so hard and it’s so personal.
"I felt really blessed having Gunner and having such a beautiful healthy son.
Heidi said she didn't want to be ungrateful, but she really wanted to have another child.
The soon-to-be mum-of-two had such a "deep longing" to expand her family.
Heidi and Spencer rose to fame on the reality show The Hills. The couple married in 2008.
