Actor Alec Baldwin and his wife Hilaria are expecting their third child together.

The former 30 Rock star's spouse confirmed the happy news on Instagram on Wednesday, just nine months after the couple welcomed its second child, Rafael, last June.

"(We) are excited to share with you that we are going to have another addition to our family," Hilaria wrote alongside a photo of the couple sharing a kiss in a city street as she holds a pale blue teddy bear.

"A little boy coming this fall."Alec and Hilaria tied the knot in June, 2012 and are also parents to two-year-old daughter Carmen.

Alec, 57, is also a father to 20-year-old daughter Ireland, from his first marriage to actress Kim Basinger.

Hilaria has always been creative in the ways she has chosen to share the happy news of her pregnancy in the past.

To announce the impending arrival of Rafael, she chose a photograph which featured Alec down on one knee holding Carmen up to her mum's bare stomach.

Their little girl, looking cute in a pink coat and matching hat, was shown gently touching her belly while Hilaria looked on, holding the leads for the family's two dogs.

The sweet image was made complete with a colourful sunset taking place behind the growing family.

"'The sun has set on 2014 and on my year of daily #hilariaypd ....2015 is going to be very exciting as we are thrilled to announce we are expecting another little addition to our family!" she wrote at the time.
