Jovovich announced that she was pregnant with her third child in August last year.
The actress revealed the baby news on Instagram and at the same time opened up about the reality of being an older mum-to-be.
The ‘Resident Evil’ star shared a sweet image showcasing her growing baby bump while also revealing the mixture of emotions she felt after discovering she was pregnant in her 40s, just two years after undergoing an emergency abortion.
“After I found out I was pregnant 13 weeks ago, I had a mixture of feelings ranging between complete joy and utter terror,” she wrote.
“Because of my age and losing the last pregnancy I didn't want to get attached to this potential baby too quickly.”

Following Osian’s birth, Jovovich revealed that the newborn had a “bad case of jaundice,” sharing on Instagram that she “had to supplement with expressed breast milk” as a result of the diagnosis.
Last year, the actress revealed that she had to have an ‘emergency abortion’ and that it was “one of the most horrific experiences” she has ever gone through.
“I myself went through an emergency abortion 2 years ago,” she wrote. “I was 4 1/2 months pregnant and shooting on location in Eastern Europe.
“I went into pre term labour and told that I had to be awake for the whole procedure. It was one of the most horrific experiences I have ever gone through. I still have nightmares about it. I was alone and helpless,” she added.
