The exciting baby news couldn't come at a better time for the Hollywood couple. After Jessica's massive success with her Netflix series The Sinner, the source tells OK! that the 36-year-old actress is ready to lighten her workload and focus on a healthy pregnancy.
It has been announced that Jessica will continue on as an executive producer on the hit series, but will not be returning as a regular cast member.
'Jess is taking a step back to take care of herself,' the source notes.
Despite Jess' meticulous planning during her first pregnancy, the actress ended up needing an emergency C-section, and now that she's juggling a career and a toddler, 'she doesn't want to spread herself too thing,' adds the insider.
The couple, who share three-year-old son Silas, were initially hesitant to expand their brood, but with both their careers in a comfortable place, they are ready for the next chapter.
Neither Jessica or Justin have responded to OK! USA's report.
