American actress Elizabeth Banks has something to be grateful for this Thanksgiving - she and her husband have welcomed their second child.

Banks, who recently starred in the comedy What To Expect When You're Expecting, announced on her website the arrival of Magnus Mitchell Handelman, who was born via a surrogate.

The new baby joins his older brother, 20-month-old Felix, who was also born via a surrogate after the 38-year-old star of The Hunger Games and her producer husband Max Handelman faced infertility issues.
