    Matt Lanter is set to become a father for the second time

    The '90210' star, 42, and his wife Angela's brood is expanding with a rainbow baby due "late summer"


    The couple - who are already parents to seven-year-old daughter MacKenlee - shared their baby joy on Instagram by sharing a video recap of their love story so far, including their wedding in 2013.

    Ashley Eckstein, Matt's co-star on 'Star Wars: The Clone Wars', commented: "CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! WE ARE SOOOO HAPPY AND EXCITED FOR YOU!!!!!!!!"

    His '90210' cast mate, Tristan "Mack" Wilds, penned: "WHY AM I CRYING?!!!? congrats, you two!!!"

    Their little girl has already been preparing for the new arrival.

    Angela shared to her profile: "Lanter- party of four [heart hand emoji] Our rainbow baby is coming late summer and we couldn't be more excited. Kenny is taking her role of big sister very seriously and with good reason... She's been praying for a sibling for years. She's already practicing holding her baby dolls and supporting their heads like a good big sister. [heart hand emoji]."

    'Timeless' star Matt gushed about becoming a dad for the first time in an interview with People: "I have a sister. I grew up in a great family and have always seen that as something that I've wanted to do. I want to play catch with my kid.

    "I want to kick the soccer ball with my little girl. So yeah, I'm excited."
