Robert Downey Jr has announced he’s expected his second child with wife Susan Downey.

The Iron Man actor revealed the exciting news on his Twitter account last night, posting: “Yo. Susan. Me. Baby. Girl. November. Scorpio?”

He also posted a pro-female message on his Facebook page, announcing the news: "Um. I don't know if it's a 'man's world', but I'm certain women run it. Susan and I are therefore delighted to announce we are expecting a baby. Girl. November. Rdj.”

The couple, who have been married for nine years, already have a son together, two-year-old Exton, and are now set to welcome a daughter to their family in November.

The happy news comes after Robert’s son with ex-wife Deborah Falconer, Indio, was arrested for cocaine possession in Los Angeles at the end of June.
