Casey Affleck, wife expecting 2nd child

LOS ANGELES - Casey Affleck and his wife, actress Summer Phoenix, are expecting their second child, a spokeswoman for the actor said Saturday.

Phoenix is due sometime this winter, Affleck spokeswoman Rebecca Feferman said. She declined to be more specific.

"They're very happy and excited about the new addition to their family," Feferman told The Associated Press.

Affleck initially disclosed the news to "ET Online" during an interview Saturday at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Affleck, 32, and Phoenix, married in 2006 and have a 3-year-old son, Indiana August.

Each is a younger sibling of Hollywood notables: Affleck is the brother of Ben Affleck, and Phoenix is the sister of Joaquin Phoenix and the late River Phoenix.

Affleck stars with Brad Pitt in the upcoming western "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford." His other screen credits include "Ocean's Eleven" and its sequels, and 1997's "Good Will Hunting."

Phoenix has appeared on the NBC series "ER" and in the 2002 HBO movie "The Laramie Project."
