Rachel Zoe pregnant with her second child at the age of 41: bananas?

For the past year (or longer), Rachel Zoe’s empire has been in free-fall. Her ready-to-wear line isn’t selling and it’s been dropped from several major retailers. The ratings for her Bravo show were in the toilet, and I think The Rachel Zoe Project is canceled now, right? Or close to being canceled. And to add insult to injury, Rachel’s A-list clients are dropping her because of her sky-high rates. What I’m saying is that Rachel has had some time on her hands. So why not get pregnant again, I guess? Us Weekly claims that Rachel is expecting her second child:

Looks like Rachel Zoe is going to need some new maternity clothes. The fashion designer, 41, is pregnant with her second child, sources tell Us Weekly exclusively.
Zoe and husband Rodger Berman — who married in 1996 — are already parents to son Skyler, born in March 2011. Speaking to MSN’s WonderWall about motherhood in January, the Rachel Zoe Project star and famed celebrity stylist said that dressing her 2-year-old little boy is her greatest joy in life.
“Oh my God, my husband laughs at me because I spend more time in his closet in the morning than I do in my own. And, you know, it’s incredibly fun. It’s like having a live doll. And he loves it,” Zoe said of her son.
“Right now, he loves getting dressed,” she added. “At some point, I’m sure in a year, he’s gonna hate everything I show him and just wanna wear, like, soccer uniforms or something.”
In the meantime, Zoe is savoring every moment with the sweet tot. “He’s amazing!” she gushed to Us Weekly last fall. “He just makes me laugh from morning until night. He gets cuter every second of every minute.”
Zoe’s rep had no comment on the pregnancy.

If it’s true, then good for her. Rodger really wanted to be a father and he spent years pleading with Rachel to have a baby. I was surprised by how little drama (health-wise) her first pregnancy entailed. When she gave birth to Skylar, everything went fine and he was he a healthy weight and he seems like a perfectly healthy little boy. I know some over-40 pregnancies can be difficult, but I suspect Rachel knows what she’s doing now that she’s already been through it once before. Congrats.
