The pair are notoriously low-key, having married in private in 2015 and announcing the birth of their daughter after she had arrived. 

Zooey is a big fan of motherhood, telling E News: "When you're holding your baby, you're like, 'I don't want to go to work—this is like the best thing ever."

We hope Zooey has an amazing pregnancy.
