“Harry Potter” star Scarlett Byrne is expecting twins from her husband Hugh Hefner’s son Cooper.
The actress, who played Slytherin student Pansy Parkinson in the films, announced the news in a post on Instagram.
The 31-year-old said: “We are grateful for our growing family. Cooper and I are very excited to announce that we will be welcoming twins in early 2022.”
“I wish you all a happy Thanksgiving.”
The couple already has a 16-month-old daughter, Betsy Rose, and Byrne posted a photo showing the family together while holding her baby bump.
Hefner, 30, simultaneously announced the news on social media, writing: “Scarlett and I will be welcoming two new members to our family this spring.
“We couldn’t be happier as we await the arrival of our twins. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!”
Byrne reportedly became engaged to Hefner in August 2015.
In 2017, she appeared nude in Playboy, marking the end of a year-long ban on using photos of nude models in the magazine.
Byrne made her debut in the Potter series in the sixth installment, “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,” and reprised the role in the final two films in the series.
Her character mocked and teased Harry and his friends and was later appointed Slytherin prefect along with Draco Malfoy.
