(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Ethan Hawke is "thrilled" to be welcoming his third daughter this summer.

The 40-year-old actor and his wife Ryan Shawhughes are expecting their second child together. The couple already have a two-year-old daughter, Clementine, and Ethan also has two children with his ex-wife Uma Thurman 12-year-old daughter Maya and son Levon, nine.

A source close to the star says he is excited at the prospect of welcoming another baby girl into the family.

"Ethan is thrilled that he is going to be having another girl," a source close to the star told Life & Style. "He loves little girls. This will be his third."

Uma, who was married to Ethan for six years, is said to be happy for her former partner. The actress admires Ethan for his "great" family man nature.

"I think Uma is really happy for Ethan," the source added. "She likes that he's such a great father to their two kids."

Ryan and Ethan are blissfully happy. The pair, who married in 2008, are fiercely private about their personal lives, and the source revealed that they wouldn't have it any other way.

"Ethan and Ryan are doing really well," the source added. "They are a cool, low-key couple and are easy to get along with."

Ryan used to work as a nanny to Maya and Levon before she fell for Ethan. (C) Cover Media
