Baby on the Way for Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell
Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell have received their latest mission: parenthood!
The Americans actress is pregnant with her third child, a source confirms to PEOPLE.
“They’re thrilled,” a friend of the couple tells PEOPLE.
Already mom to daughter Willa Lou, 3, and son River, 7½, this will be Russell’s first child with her Americans costar.
After months of relationship rumors — and several sightings of the two together — PEOPLE confirmed in April 2014 that Russell and Rhys, 41, were an item.
The former Felicity star, 39, has been honest about the hardships that come with balancing a family along with a successful career.
“I like working hard, but my life outside of my career is equally important to me,” she told PARADE. “Maybe I’m not ambitious enough, but I’m just as interested in my friends and my relationship with my family.”
But becoming a mother has changed Russell for the better. “You instantly become less selfish. You can’t be the biggest person in the world anymore — they are. It really grounds you,” she said.

The Americans (March, FX)
Season 4 of FX’s thriller about undercover KGB agents Philip (Matthew Rhys) and Elizabeth (Keri Russell) picks up right in the heat of President Reagan’s infamous 1983 “Star Wars” defense program. “A lot of people refer to this exact period as one of the tensest in the Cold War,” says EP Joel Fields. “Philip and Elizabeth are going to be in the middle of some of the most dangerous operations that, interestingly, were not playing out in the headlines but were happening behind the scenes and didn’t come out until after the Cold War was over.”
Say hello to Patty, Elizabeth’s new undercover identity. If she’s giving you major “Mary Kay lady” vibes, that’s because Elizabeth’s cover is exactly that — a single career woman looking to make an extra dollar. “It’s a different ’80s perspective than we’ve explored before,” creator Joe Weisberg says of “Patty,” who will remind Elizabeth of the rules of both cosmetics and espionage when she forms a dangerously real bond with recurring guest star Ruthie Ann Miles.
