has announced she is pregnant – via a card.
The and revealedas she shared an incredibly sweet post on Instagram which initially left followers guessing.
The first slide shows a Christmas card snap of herself, her son, and her husband Matthew Koma, each sitting around in pyjamas.
With a closer look, the frame around the photograph bears the words: ‘So much for a silent night’ – while Hilary is seen to be cradling a bump and looking shocked.
The next slide showed multiple adorable snaps of her family, along with a little message: ‘Buckle up, buttercups! We’re adding one more to this crazy crew!’
And in a caption, the mum-to-be wrote: ‘Surprise surprise!’
Fans flocked to the comments to congratulate the family, with user Onekingslane saying ‘this is what dreams are made of! Congratulations to your growing family!’
User Teresa King said ‘aww how cute, congratulations’ while Post.Partyy said ‘yayyy congrats beauty!’
And only1dharti shared her own story, writing: ‘ Congratulations!!! I’m one of four siblings… I wish you all luck, 😂 but also know- it’s so fun having a built in friend group!’
Hilary is already mum to Luca, 11, from her marriage to Mike Comrie, and shares two daughters with husband Matthew.
The couple welcomed their first daughter, Banks, in 2019, with Mae following two years later.
It’s a joyful end to the year for Hilary, who suffered major disappointment when How I Met Your Mother spin-off How I Met Your Father was cancelled after two seasons.
Hilary played the main character Sophie in the sitcom, which also starred Kim Catrall as her older self.
The cancellation meant viewers will never find out who the father of Sophie’s son is, which is disappointing in itself.
However Hilary had quick words for anyone finding joy in the cancellation, and savagely took down a commenter on Instagram who called the show ‘cringe’.
The star, who has 26 million followers on Instagram, wrote simply: ‘You have 63 followers.’
Hilary previously told Metro.co.uk that
‘When I first got the call about the role, I was like, “What’s the title? No, no, no, no!” Way too intimidating. Way too much pressure because HIMYM was so dialled-in, so beloved and the cast was amazing,’ she recalled.
‘But I was talking to the producers and they said they were not trying to re-enact anything and it really is a brilliant way to tell a story.’
