Hollywood couple Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are expecting their second child, according to new reports.

The pair welcomed their two-year-old daughter Violet in December 2005, and are expecting a second addition to their brood with Garner set to give birth next year (09), reports the National Enquirer.

A source tells the tabloid, "A few days before the Fourth of July, Jen began calling close pals with the news that she was pregnant again. Jen said she's three months along - and she and Ben are 'ecstatic'."

The source adds, "She and Ben are still deciding whether they'll ask the sex of the child."

Affleck and Garner wed in June 2005 after meeting on the set of 2003 film Daredevil.

Affleck's spokesperson, Ken Sunshine, is refusing to confirm or deny the reports, telling WENN: "We don't comment on the personal lives of our clients." (JMA/NE&WN/MT)
