Her Instagram post dated September 11, 2021 featured two photos.
The first showed the StarStruck alumni and her eldest daughter Bela showing their tummies: Bela's had "#1" written on it while Rich had "#2."
The second photo is a copy of the sonogram which indicated "10.09.2021" as the date when the ultrasound was performed, "27.04.2022" as the EDD or Estimated Date of Delivery, and "7wk5day," the baby's fetal age.
On the comment section, some of Rich’s celebrity friends: Sheena Halili, Diana Zubiri, Glaiza de Castro, and Marco Alcaraz congratulated Rich over the good news.
Her close friend Sheena Halili wished, "Sana baby boy naman."
Fellow StarStruck alumna Jade Lopez, who is also pregnant with her second baby, got this reply from Rich, "It's a tie!!!"
Rich and Benj wedding happened last May 2018. We can recall how Rich Asuncion announced last 2018 that she and husband Benjamin Mudie had their first child together.

As reported, the "Starstruck" alumni announced the good news on the birthday of her husband via a clip on Instagram, which she captioned,
"I'm happy to announce our family is about to grow by 1 and we wish to invite you all to share the experience with us as I journey through life as a wife and a mother-to-be."
She also posted another photo of the two of them celebrating Mudie's birthday, writing,
"Happy Birthday soon-to-be Daddy!!! -From me and your little one."
In a YouTube video she also shared online, Mudie can be seen talking to the camera and sharing that they were going to do a pregnancy test using a kit bought earlier.
They later tried again after realizing that Asuncion made a mistake in the previous test, to which Mudie joked,
"Let's just pray the baby doesn't take after in terms of this silliness genes!"
Mudie later shared the pregnancy stick to the camera and revealed that they are having a baby. Mudie and Asuncion tied the knot in a small wedding held in Hong Kong back in May this year after three years of relationship.
They had their very first daughter named Isabelle Brie last December 2018. Indeed time really flies so fast because now, they will be having their second baby!
Rich Asuncion entered showbiz through the GMA talent reality show StarStruck: The Next Level where she was named First Princess. She also starred in the series Let The Love Begin, Ika-6 na Utos, and Dahil sa Pag-Ibig. In 2009, she placed first runner-up in Binibining Pilipinas.
She was also based in Canberra since March 2020, the start of the global pandemic. In June 2020, she talked about getting her first pay from her casual job as a waitress in a restaurant.
Part of her long post read,
"Dahil 'di na ko ako nagpaka-choosy, sinubukan ko na ang pagwi-waitress...Nung una nahirapan ako tanggapin pero narealize ko ngayon, ano naman ang masama dun.
"Part pa rin naman siya ng Tourism course na kinuha ko sa UP. At wala akong karapatan mag-inarte kasi nabigyan ako panibagong chance to start anew.
"My point here is, I know most of us will need to adjust to a new/different life after this pandemic. And that’s not all that bad.
"To be able to survive through this is already a blessing. As hard as it may seem, look for the silver lining."
In her case, being able to do her duties as a hands-on mom and continuing her studies top her list of priorities.
Things you need to know about having a second child
-
Know that, like everything with motherhood, you have no control
While it may have taken you years to conceive your first child (or no time at all), that may not be the case with your second. Having a go-with-the-flow attitude when trying to conceive your second baby will be good for your sanity and good practice for when you have two kids.
-
Your second pregnancy won't be like your first
When you're pregnant with your first, you have the time to take care of yourself. With your second, you've got a toddler to run after, so don't be surprised if those daily pregnancy smoothies you used to enjoy become more of a monthly thing this time around.
-
Nothing will be able to prepare your older child
Just like no amount of reading or classes can prepare you for a baby, same goes for your eldest. He will get through it and eventually love his little sibling, but it may be a bumpy start. (When in doubt about how to handle things, extra snuggles are always a good idea).
-
You won't be treated the same way you were the first time around
When you're pregnant with your first, the world all but rolls out a red carpet for you and your baby-to-be. With your second? Not so much. Just like you may be feeling a little "been there, done that," so does everyone else.
-
It will feel different
You may have felt absolutely awful with morning sickness the first go-round, but don't let that scare you off from getting pregnant again. Just like no two children are alike, no two pregnancies are alike.
