Oscar-winner Joaquin Phoenix and Rooney Mara are expecting another bundle of joy!

On Friday, Mara, 38, debuted her baby bump at her new movie "La Cocina" premiere at the 74th Berlinale International Film Festival.

The Carol star chose to wear a strapless, floor-length gown with black draped material that subtly showed off her growing baby bump while posing for photos on the carpet.

Phoenix, 49, and Mara already are parents to son River -- who was born in 2020 and is named after the Gladiator star's late older brother, actor River Phoenix, who died in 1993 at age 23 from a drug overdose.

The couple met while working on the set of "Her", which was directed by Spike Jonze and written by Phoenix.

In the movie, he plays a writer who falls for Samantha, an artificial intelligence Operating System (Voiced by Scarlett Johansson),  but not before his relationship with Catherine, (Played by Mara), comes to an end. 

In an interview with Vanity Fair, Phoenix admitted that he thought Mara despised him while they were working together, but that in reality, she was just shy. They quickly became friends and their relationship blossomed.  

"She's the only girl I ever looked up on the internet," he said. "We were just friends, email friends. I'd never done that. Never looked up a girl online."

They started dating in 2016 while working on Mary Magdalene together and later showed up at the 70th annual Cannes Film Festival in May 2017 holding hands. 

Two years later, the longtime couple were engaged. They were hand in hand months after that at the 2020 Academy Awards, where Phoenix won Best Lead Actor for "Joker". 

During the coronavirus pandemic, the pair quarantined at their home in Los Angeles, which is when the news of their first pregnancy broke.
