The Hunger Games actress Elizabeth Banks and her husband Max Handelman have welcomed a second son to their brood.

Their new son Magnus is now the little brother to Felix, who was introduced to the world in March 2011; both boys were born through a surrogate. Banks took to her website to share the good news with fans:

"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."

Always the comedienne, Banks added, "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."

Banks is currently filming the sequel to The Hunger Games, Catching Fire.
