The baby news may come as surprise to some fans as Jessica previously told Ellen DeGeneres that she didn't want to have any more children with her husband. Last year, she explained: "I'm not pregnant… We had an IUD. Nothing's going to get in that uterus. I have two beautiful children. I'm not having a third." She also revealed to Ryan Seacrest: "Oh, we're done. I say we're done. I don't want to accidentally get pregnant one day and then that poor kid feels like it wasn't meant to be or something. We've got the girl and the boy."
