Ashton Kutcher has confirmed that he is expecting a baby boy with his wife of one year, Mila Kunis.

Speaking on the Today show this morning, the 38-year-old actor let slip the sex of his second child while explaining why he believes his two-year-old daughter, Wyatt, has some understanding of her mother’s pregnancy.

The Two and a Half Men star said: “[Wyatt] points to Mila and she's like, ‘baby brother’ when she points to the belly.”

“Then she points to dad and she goes, ‘Beer’, so I think she gets there's something in the belly but I don't quite think that she knows that it's not going to be a plastic doll yet.”

While admitting that the idea of having a second child is “intensely scary”, Ashton joked that he has learned kids are “pretty durable”.

“You’re not going to break them,” he noted.

Last week, a source close to the couple told Life & Style, that Ashton and Mila “couldn’t be happier” about adding a boy to their family.

“Even though they told everyone that they'd be happy with another girl, a son is what they were both really hoping for,” they said.
