Hilary’s new arrival will be her fourth child, after Luca, 11, who she shares with her ex-husband Mike Comrie, and her two daughters Banks and Mae with husband Matthew.

The news will come as a great happiness to Hilary and her family, maybe more so as the actress' recent project was recently canceled.

Hilary played the main character Sophie in How I Met Your Father, a spin-off of the hugely successful How I Met Your Mother which aired from 2005 to 2014.

Sex and the City star Kim Cattrall also appeared in the show as Hilary's character's older self.

The huge blow to the series means that the program will conclude before fans find out who the father of Sophie's son is - which is the whole point of the show.
