On Mother’s Day, she revealed the gender of her child by sharing another snap of her baby bump.
“The most beautiful Mother’s Day today, holding my son who made me a mom… and carrying my daughter,” she captioned a photo of her baby bump.
Last month, Lea spoke about the difficulties she faced in getting pregnant with her second child.
The star revealed that she went through three miscarriages, surgery and numerous injections before finally conceiving her daughter.
During an appearance on the BDA Baby podcast with Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt, Lea opened up about her fertility struggles and her endometriosis diagnosis.
She shared that the journey to conceive with her husband was much more challenging than they expected.
The couple was “shocked” when she “had two failed pregnancies, one after the other and very early on.”

Michele and her husband are already parents to three-year-old son Ever, whom they welcomed together in August 2020.
The 37-year-old actress said she suffered a total of three miscarriages, had to undergo surgery and received “a thousand injections” before finally becoming pregnant with her unborn daughter.
“I’d never had a miscarriage before,” she told the podcast host. “The first one, I was like, ‘That was weird.'”
“When it happened again, I immediately thought, ‘Wait a second. Something’s wrong.'”
After her second miscarriage, she recalled wanting to “step away” from trying to get pregnant because she felt it wasn’t the “right time.”
Michele said she had a third miscarriage, which she said was “super challenging” and “very painful” for her.
“It wasn’t until a little bit later that I had another one,” she explained. “I was working at the time. It was a huge challenge… to process what we were experiencing at the same time, which was very painful.”
He said he wanted to find an explanation and decided to “dig deeper into what was happening.”
After visiting doctors, Funny Girl said she was diagnosed with endometriosis.
She said she had to undergo surgery and was given “a lot of medications and drugs and (was given) a thousand injections” before finally getting pregnant.
She was vulnerable when discussing her fertility struggles and being diagnosed with endometriosis. Discussing conceiving her second baby with husband Zandy Reich, she recalled that her second pregnancy was “not at all what they expected” when they “started trying” to conceive.
Michele and her husband are already parents to three-year-old son Ever, whom they welcomed together in August 2020.
During her first pregnancy, she also had difficulty getting pregnant and attributed it to polycystic ovary syndrome.
After that experience, she said she hoped “getting pregnant a second time would be easy.”
Her candid admission and vulnerable recollection comes after revealing the sex of her second baby.
Following her sweet Mother’s Day post, she also revealed the specific nicknames she didn’t want to name her son.
Last week, she said Access to Hollywood who would never name her child after her Glee character, Rachel Berry.
Speaking about choosing her baby’s name, she said she and Reich are “close” to making a final decision.
“We’re close. We’re definitely close,” she admitted. “My husband is very surprised that I’m the one holding us back.”
She continued: ‘I usually say, ‘We have to figure this out,’ well in advance. But I don’t know.
“I think with our son we knew the name right away,” she said. “It was an easy thing for us.”
“And this time, the idea is that things are different, but I think we’re getting closer. But we better hurry!”

Her candid confession and vulnerable throwback come after revealing the gender of her second baby. Following her sweet Mother’s Day post, she also revealed the specific nicknames she didn’t want to call her child.
Michele continued to go through her list of discarded names.
“Everyone wants Rachel. Is it Fanny? Is it Barbra? I would never do that to my daughter!”
She continued: ‘But I have to cross-reference if there is a name: is there any association with anything I’ve done in the past?
“It’s not going to be Barbra, it’s not going to be Rachel, it’s not going to be Hester. I’m more inclined to do a ‘Berry,’ because I think that’s great. Something like that. It would have to be a little bit… it couldn’t be as direct as that.”
