Cooper, the son of the late Hugh Hefner, and wife Scarlett first shared their exciting pregnancy news exclusively with PEOPLE back in November.

"Both Scarlett and I could not be happier to continue the adventure of parenting together," he told PEOPLE exclusively, sharing a family photo featuring Scarlett cradling her baby bump in a white dress.

Both Cooper and the Harry Potter actress later revealed the news on their respective Instagrams.

"Scarlett and I will be welcoming two new members of the family this spring. We couldn't be happier as we wait on the arrival of our twins," Cooper wrote alongside a photo of himself and Scarlett with Betsy. "A very Happy Thanksgiving to all!"

Wrote Scarlett, who played Pansy Parkinson in the hit franchise, "Thankful for our growing family. Cooper and I are very excited to share that we will be welcoming twins at the beginning of 2022. Wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving."

Cooper and Scarlett welcomed their first child on Aug. 24, 2020 in Los Angeles. At the time, Cooper told PEOPLE that he and his wife were "filled with such joy" and "couldn't be happier."

The couple named their daughter after Cooper's grandmother Betsy Aldridge-Conrad, who died that July. "My grandmother meant the world to both Scarlett and I," Cooper said.
