There’s going to be another Lannister heir! Lena Headey is pregnant with her second child.

The Emmy-nominated British star, who plays shrewd Queen Regent Cersei Lannister on HBO’s “Game of Thrones,” announced the news in a statement to People.

“I’m happy to confirm that I’m having my second child this summer,” the 41-year-old said.

“I only hope that this announcement can help me to regain some of the privacy I have recently lost to prying photographers and ask that they please respect my privacy and let me enjoy this time.”

Headey did not disclose the father’s identity.

The actress already has a 4-year-old son, Wylie, from her marriage to musician Peter Loughran. The couple wed in 2007 and divorced in 2013. (The messy split notably revealed their financial woes.)
