Some may think that this is a public policy strategy to augment birthrate, as the continuous aging of the population of the globe is a great worldwide problem. They might suspect that those responsible with the public relations up at the governmental level have wrapped this public policy into the glamour of celebrity, based on the power of example. If that is the case, we might never find out, but we should be content that that the strategy remains in the democratic limits and bears no resemblance to dictatorship.

What I’m babbling here about is the perpetual celebrity baby boom. Until some years ago, it used to be trendy to have a minuscule dog. Now, it’s fashionable to have kids. The more, the merrier. Maybe it’s nothing behind this, maybe it’s just what these glamorous people want: a large family.

Just as Matt Damon and his wife Luciana, welcomed baby Gia Zavala on Wednesday, their best friend couple announced that they are also going to become parents. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner confirmed what has been only speculation for some time: the pair is expecting their second child. And Gia is the third baby for Matt and Luciana, being the sister of 2-year old Isabella and 10-year old Alexia. Well, that’s a big difference from the microscopic dog era, isn’t it?

Garner attended the 10th Anniversary Party for the Baby Einstein line of books, toys and DVDs at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles on Wednesday. At the event, Garner highlighted that the major project she was focusing was what was growing in her belly.

The confirmation comes after weeks of rumors and speculations; the actress even mocked the pregnancy allegations, saying that she’d had too much at breakfast. “Oh I'm not pregnant. I just had a lot of carbs for breakfast. It's just - what do they call it? A breakfast pouch? Bunch?” she joked.

“It always makes me laugh when people say 'Is she?' 'Isn't she?' It's like eventually you will know, so just chill out for a minute,” Garner added.

Jennifer Garner succumbed and confirmed her growing baby bump at when an Access Hollywood’s reporter wished her the best for her baby. “Thank you, we're so excited obviously. We've been through it before. It's all good, it's great. I'm really excited,” the “Alias” star said.    

Making reference to her first baby girl, Violet, she went on joking “Yeah, been through it. It's all good, it's great. I'm really excited,” she said. The actress didn’t disclose her due date or if they’re expecting a boy or a girl.

Jennifer Garner will soon be seen starring alongside Matthew McConaughey in “The Ghosts of Girlfriends Past” and “This Side of Truth” with Ricky Gervais.
