Taking to Instagram, the 31-year-old confirmed their happy news on Thanksgiving, with a sweet family snap.

The businessman shared the same photo on his page, adding the message: ‘Scarlett and I will be welcoming two new members of the family this spring. 

‘We couldn’t be happier as we wait on the arrival of our twins. A very Happy Thanksgiving to all!’

Scarlett – who also starred in The Vampire Diaries and Runaways – and Cooper announced their engagement in 2015, after two years of dating.

They tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in California in 2019.

The lovebirds began their family last August after welcoming first child Betsy Rose into the world.
