Matt Damon is expecting his second child with wife Luciana Barroso.

"They couldn't be happier. They're so excited," Damon's spokeswoman Jennifer Allen told People.

The Hollywood actor announced the news after attending last night's Empire Film Awards. Damon's spy thriller The Bourne Ultimatum picked up the Best Film prize at the annual awards show.

The couple already have a daughter, one-year-old Isabella. Damon is also stepfather to Luciana's nine-year-old daughter Alexia.

The Bourne star will next be seen in Paul Greengrass's political drama Green Zone.
