Disney Channel star Tiffany Thornton is pregnant with her second child, E! News reports, having recently announced the big news to her fans on WhoSay via a photo along with the caption, "Guess what?! Hint: why am I holding my stomach?"

The 27-year-old singer and actress is married to Christopher Carney, and the two have a one-year-old son together, Kenneth James, according to People magazine. The couple tied the knot in 2011 in Arkansas, in which good friend and former "Sonny With a Chance" co-star Demi Lovato served as a bridesmaid and even caught the bouquet during the reception. Son Kenneth James, nicknamed KJ, arrived nine months later on Aug. 14, 2012.

Thornton, who starred in "Sonny With a Chance" and "So Random!" as the self-absorbed Tawni Hart, recently took to Twitter to thank her fans for their support during this exciting time.

"Thanks so much for all the congrats :). Chris and I are so excited to announce that KJ is going to be a big brother!!! What a blessing," she tweeted, adding, "Love being pregnant at the same time as my best friend since 4th grade."

In the latest photo posted to WhoSay, Thornton cradles her baby bump, wearing a long-sleeve black sweater, jeans and black boots while surrounded by a group of girlfriends.

Following her work on the Disney Channel, Thornton, who has released several songs for the "Sonny With a Chance" soundtrack and Disneymania 7 CD, appeared in several other Disney projects before settling down with her family.
