Asked by presenter Lorraine Kelly on the "great news" they've got to share, Smith revealed: "Yeah, I’ve got a little bump", while holding her stomach.
Of the upcoming arrival, Spall added: "It’s really exciting, we’re really excited."
This marks the first child for Smith, with Spall already a father to three children from his previous marriage to Hollyoaks actor Elize du Toit.
Spall went on to share his excitement at the guest stars who will appear Trying's upcoming fourth series, which will arrive on Apple TV+ on May 22.
"We’ve got Oscar winner Jim Broadbent," he said. "That was a real thrill. Imelda Staunton has been in the show. Phil Davis."
Smith jumped in to recall one of her favourite on-set moments while filming with Broadbent. "I got to dance with Jim Broadbent," she said.
"What a dream. I was literally beaming the whole day. Don’t look at our feet, just look up."
Other notable cast members for season four include Blue Light's Siân Brooke, who returns to play Nikki's sister Karen, with Phil Davis back as Jason's dad Vic.
The first two series of Trying focused on Nikki and Jason's quest to become adoptive parents, with season three seeing the arrival of their children Princess and Tyler. Season four sees the story jump forward six years, with the couple tackling parenting with teenagers.
Trying seasons 1-3 are available now on Apple TV+.
