Milla Jovovich told “passing strangers” about her pregnancy before anyone else.

The 38-year-old actress and her husband Paul W.S. Anderson are expecting their second child together and the filmmaker admitted both the ‘Resident Evil’ star and their daughter Ever, six, couldn’t wait to share the happy news.

Talking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, Paul shared: “[Ever] is super, super excited. When we told her she ran out into the street and started telling passing strangers. The first person to know [that Milla is pregnant] was one of our neighbours, walking her dog past our house.

“But [Ever] tells absolutely everybody that she meets that her mother is pregnant, she’s so proud of her mum and really excited to have a younger sibling. Probably someone to boss around but she’s really excited about it.”

The director then joked about how his daughter was secretly hoping for a little girl.

He added: “She, of course, would like a little sister to boss around. But she would settle for a little brother if she had to.”

Paul admitted that their new arrival will impact his film career, after previously announcing that the filming of ‘Resident Evil: The Final Chapter’ will be delayed until next year to accommodate Milla’s pregnancy.

The 49-year-old filmmaker added: “The older your family get and the more they get rooted in school, the more that weighs quite heavily on your decisions of, do I want to go away for such a long period of time?”
