On May 4, Moulin Rouge! star Derek Klena announced on Instagram that he and his wife Elycia are expecting their second child in the fall.

"New lil 'boo' joining our fam this Halloween!" he wrote, captioning a slideshow of beach photos featuring the couple with their young son Dax and the words "BIG BRO" carved in the sand. Derek and Elycia, former UCLA classmates, married in 2018 and welcomed their first son in September 2022.
