January 29, 2015

Cobie Smulders is a mother of two. The star her second child with her husband Taran Killam, it has been confirmed. The actress casually broke the news while promoting her two new films at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah, just three weeks after giving birth.

"I'm in Sundance and I have a three-week-old baby, so I can certainly relate," Cobie told Bustle about Unexpected, a film in which she plays a pregnant teacher that forms a friendship with a high school student who is also expecting.

"It's my world at the moment, and it's just so prevalent in the world today. I'm very lucky where I have a great career and a huge support system and not every woman has that. It's an interesting film because it shows both of those sides.
