Julia Roberts is reportedly expecting a baby boy.

The 'Closer' actress - who already has two-year-old twins, son Phinnaeus and daughter Hazel, with her cameraman husband Danny Moder - is said to be thrilled with the news.

One friend of Roberts' told America's Star magazine: "She loves being a mom and she can't wait for her third baby to be born. She wants a big family.

It has also been revealed that the baby is due on June 22.

The 39-year-old star admitted when she announced the pregnancy she had almost "given up hope" of conceiving again after trying for another baby for over a year.

Roberts said: "We had almost given up hope. But nature took its course soon after we stopped looking at the calendar and taking temperatures."

The Oscar-winning actress has previously admitted that becoming a mother has helped grow as a person.

She said: "I definitely feel that I've expanded as a human being. I have more empathy and more compassion, I think, because I feel so blessed on a level that I can't even wrap my mind around really."
