Actors Alicia Vikander and Michael Fassbender are now the proud parents of two.

In an Elle UK interview published online Wednesday, Vikander confirmed that shed given birth to her second baby with the X-Men star.

The Oscar winner, known for her leading role in 2018s Tomb Raider, opened up about dealing with a more difficult pregnancy this time around.

All women have such different experiences, and going through it a second time was definitely harder for me, she said, without offering details on when exactly shed given birth or on her kiddos name and sex.

She described pregnancy as a marathon, saying, Its so physically demanding, and I have so much admiration for any woman who has done it.

Recalling how she gave birth four times on screen before becoming a mother in real life, she added: Your job is to pretend as an actor, but every time I had to give birth, I said to every woman on set, Im sorry. I felt like such an imposter.

The Ex Machina star previously welcomed a baby boy, whose name has not been made public, in 2021. She and Fassbender wed in Ibiza in 2017.

Vikander shared in 2022 that she had tried to get pregnant for a while, and had at one point suffered a tragic pregnancy loss.
