The Hunger Games star and her husband Max Handelman are the proud parents of a baby boy named Magnus, a brother for their one-year-old son Felix.
Announcing the news in a post on her official website on Wednesday, Banks writes, "As 2012 winds down and Thanksgiving approaches, I have much for which to be thankful... However, nothing can match the joy and excitement my husband and I felt when we recently welcomed our second baby boy, Magnus Mitchell Handelman..."
"Like Felix, Magnus was born via gestational surrogate. This experience has exceeded all expectations, taught us a great deal about generosity and gratitude, and established a relationship that will last a lifetime."
"I am also so very thankful to our family and friends for their support throughout this process, as well as the Center for Surrogate Parenting for helping make all this possible..."
"I now turn my attention to managing two boys under two. For which I am thankful. And all their poop. For which I am less thankful. Wish me luck."
