“Charlie changed her life, and now she wants him to have a baby brother or sister to play with.”
The source continued,
“She has been such a wonderful mother to Charlie that it was only a matter of time before she became pregnant again. It was always Jodie’s intention to have more than one child. At her time of life she is much more interested in being a down-to-earth good mother than an actor or a film star.”
