Pippa and James are thrilled, it's fantastic news amid a difficult year. The entire family is delighted.

The 37-year-old socialite married 45-year-old former race car driver, James Matthews, in 2017 and share two-year-old Arthur, who is cousin to Prince George, Louis and Princess Charlotte. The couple married at St. Mark's Church in Englefield, the estate of former Conservative MP Richard Benyon.

In 2018, the couple welcomed little Arthur in the Lindo Wing of St. Mary's Hospital, sharing the same place of birth asall three children of Kate Middleton and Prince William.

A sibling for their first born to play with

As the baby boom trend amid the COVID-19 pandemic becomes more apparent with celebrities revealing pregnancies every passing week, the Middleton Matthews couple declined to comment on reports they are expecting a second child.

But if their past pregnancy is any indication of how revealing the couple is with the public, an official statement will probably be rolling through soon enough. In the past, Middleton documented how she stayed active during her first pregnancy and even shared baby Arthur's very active playdates.

The socialite and columnist wrote about her first born:

Now that Arthur is more mobile, I have been trying to come up with different activities to do with him. I needed to find something more than just park walks in the pram. Our local baby gym has been a saving grace. It's a big space full of fun, soft objects, play mats, stairs, balls, swings, mini trampolines and more to stimulate and physically engage babies and toddlers,' she added.

We're sure baby Arthur can't wait to have a little sibling to go on playdates with.
