Becca Tobin is expanding her family!
The Glee alum, 40, is expecting her second baby, a girl, at the end of the summer with her husband Zach Martin. She shared the exciting news on Instagram and on the latest episode of the LadyGang podcast, which she cohosts alongside Keltie Knight and Jac Vanek. In her announcement clip on social media, the soon-to-be mom of two, who is welcoming her baby girl via surrogacy, called her best friend, Megan, to share the big news with her, saying her "heart is bursting to finally share it."
"Calling my bestie Megan with some BIG news!! I’ve been waiting a long time for this moment, and my heart is bursting to finally share it!" she wrote in her caption. "Big thank you to @bobbie for being a part of this special announcement. Their organic formula nourished Ford from his first bottle to first birthday and now we can’t wait for them to do the same for baby #2! #bobbiepartner."
During the Wednesday, April 29 episode of her podcast, where she was joined by her surrogate Katie, Tobin shared that she and Martin are both "thrilled" and "scared" to be adding another little one to their family. The couple already shares son Rutherford 'Ford' Thomas, 4, whom they welcomed in February 2022 via surrogate.
"I also have exciting news. Zach and I are welcoming a baby girl at the end of the summer via surrogacy, and we are thrilled," she said. "We are scared. We've had a singleton. Is that what you call him? Singleton for four years now. It's been incredible, wonderful, magical, and we are doing it again. Round two."
The A Song for Christmas actress went on to share that they haven't told their son that he's going to become a big brother soon, asking her listeners not to share the news with him until they have the opportunity to do so. She also asked for suggestions on how to share it with their son before revealing why she's decided to be more open with her second pregnancy.
"The first time around, when Ford was coming, we were really private and very secretive about him coming because of a few things," she explained. "The world is a s--tty place sometimes, and people really like to insert their opinions on how you create your family, and that can really spoil the experience."

"We were nervous because we had had so many failed attempts," Tobin continued. "But this time around, I have such a thick skin with people, as you'll see, judging my decisions, my choices. So what the f--k? You know, why not?"

Back in February 2022, Tobin announced on Instagram that she and Martin welcomed a baby boy via surrogate. She shared the exciting news alongside a sweet photo of Martin walking out of the hospital while carrying their son in a car seat.
"Welcome to the world, Ford. 💙 Rutherford 'Ford' Thomas Martin is here and life is already so much sweeter," Tobin wrote. "It took him five years to get here, but it's been worth every minute. Thank you to our amazing surrogate for bringing him here safely surrounded by so much love."
Tobin has previously been open about her fertility struggles, sharing on her podcast in July 2020 that she suffered two miscarriages and decided to undergo in vitro fertilization.
"There's thousands and millions of women going through this," she told PEOPLE in November 2020 of her experiences with infertility.
"I felt like it's a disservice to not really put everything out there when our whole brand is about talking about what's happening in your life, the ups and the downs," she explained. "I couldn't be like, 'Yay, my life is perfect.' I just felt like, no, that's not the truth. That's never the truth for anybody. We all have highs and lows. And that was why I felt like I needed to talk about it."
