Los Angeles - Tori Spelling is pregnant with her fifth child.
The former Beverly Hills 90210 actress and her husband Dean McDermott - who already have Liam, nine, Stella, eight, Hattie, five, and Finn, four, together - are "really excited" to be adding to their family again, though the news came as a shock.
Tori told People magazine: "It was a total surprise. But we always wanted a big family. I'm really excited."
The 43-year-old star and her husband - who also has an 18-year-old son, Jack, from his previous marriage - feel like they are "starting over" with the new baby.
Tori said: "Dean was saying, 'We just got Finn out of diapers; I thought we were in the clear!'
"For the first time this year, they're all in school. So it's like, wow. We're basically starting over."
But Tori and Dean, 49, think the baby has come along at the "best time".
She said: "This baby happened at the best time.
"Nothing is ever perfect, but I'm so madly in love with my husband and with our kids. The idea of adding to that is such a blessing."
