Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes are back in the headlines again, as the most recent news claims that the couple is expanding their little family by having another baby on the way.

Not long after the couple welcomed their first child, Esmeralda Amada, talks and reports claiming that Gosling and Mendes are expecting their second child together are making the rounds on the web. The good news first broke out when the actress was spotted hiding her baby bump during a photo shoot in February.

However, it should be noted first that as of this writing, the pregnancy reports is still unverified as the reps for the actor did not immediately respond to a request for comment yet. Nonetheless, it has been strongly speculated that the couple is keeping the pregnancy news as quiet as can be, just like how they managed to keep Mendes' first pregnancy under wraps for a while.

"[They] just hasn't ever wanted anyone beyond her close friends and family knowing more than they had to," an insider previously told People. "And Ryan is certainly private and always has been."

Today, more images have emerged on the web which seems to be adding fuel to the pregnancy rumors. In the exclusive photo acquired by The Daily Mail, the 42-year-old actress is seen covering her tummy with a vast leather tote bag as she made her way to be picked up her longtime beau.

According to the publication, Mendes sports a low profile look as she wore her brunette locks in a messy bun and covered her eyes with shades. The actress was seen wearing a floral maxi dress and thong sandals, as she ventured out in Los Angeles on April 14, Thursday, soon after it was reported that she is pregnant.

The couple began dating shortly after meeting on the set of 2012's crime drama film, "The Place Beyond the Pines" and welcomed their first child together on Sept. 12, 2014. The stars have kept their daughter out of the spotlight since her birth.

If the claims turn out to be true, then it would seemingly not come as a big surprise to the couple's fans, particularly now that Mendes and Gosling seem to be enjoying their life as a parent. In fact, the 35-year-old actor previously expressed that his biggest investment in life is his family.

"I'm with the person I'm supposed to be with - I'm not looking for anything else beyond Eva and I feel very lucky that we have a beautiful, healthy daughter, who is an angel," the publication quoted Gosling as saying.
