We learned Jill Hennessy, 38, and her husband Paolo Mastropietro were expecting their second child in late June, but she's remained mum on the subject, despite her growing belly. When asked about the obvious pregnancy by People magazine on Saturday, Jill joked,

I don't know what you're talking about. I think it's just too much beer and burritos.

Getting serious, Jill discussed why she decided to stay quiet about the good news, and also revealed that the new baby will be a little brother for son Marco, 3 1/2.

I like to be sort of tentative about these things, but it's definitely a boy. I'm almost six months pregnant with a boy. I'm still trying to find a name that goes with Mastropietro...maybe something Irish?

Pregnancy the second time around has brought more clarity for the Crossing Jordan star, now that she knows what to expect -- she's even prepared to be overdue.

I'm definitely less worried, much more relaxed about it this time around. I'm still dying to meet this little person, but now I've got a pretty good idea about what will happen over the next few months and how uncomfortable I will be, especially if I go past my due date, which I did with Marco.

Jill, who says 'anything fried –- hamburgers, fried chicken -- turns me off' is currently focusing on preparing her CD, which she says should be done by fall. However, son #2 is her first priority, remarks Jill. She's planning to get her nursing relationship off to a good start first, then will promote her new music.

I want to get some quality time with this dude, especially in the first few months of lactation, and then maybe even tour. Music is actually what I did before I acted.

Baby boy Mastropietro is due in November.
