LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Alec Baldwin and wife Hilaria have a bundle of joy on the way!

“My wife is pregnant. To celebrate the announcement, she is teaching yoga,” Alec Tweeted on Tuesday afternoon.

The 54-year-old actor and the 28-year-old yoga instructor wed in June 2012.

The actor is already a dad to daughter Ireland, 17, from his previous marriage to Kim Basinger.

Back in September, at the Emmy Awards, Hilaria told Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush the couple wasn’t quite ready to expand their family.

“I think we need a little time to be married first, no?” Hilaria said at the time. “Everybody is trying to rush me.”

Instead, the couple said – at the time – they were planning to get another canine companion.

“We have a dog and we want to get another dog, I mean, it’s all about that, home, family, we’ll have a baby all that stuff,” Alec said.

“Eventually,” Hilaria added.
