Romano — who voiced Trina in the first season of Big Hero 6: The Series and is also known for her role on Even Stevens, as well as for her 2004 turn as Belle in Disney’s Beauty and the Beast on Broadway — revealed her pregnancy news exclusively to PEOPLE in August.

Months later, the couple confirmed to PEOPLE exclusively that they were expecting another girl, sharing a photo from their explosive sex reveal.
In the family snapshot, Romano, Rooney and their daughter looked into the camera with surprised and excited expressions as they stood in front of a cloud of pink.
“Brendan and I planned our gender-reveal photo shoot and had the photographer buy the colored smoke (which was safely released)!” Romano told PEOPLE. “We both had a feeling from the beginning that it was another girl. My pregnancy has been almost exactly like the first.”
“It was so much fun to find out that Izzy is going to have a little sister,” added the former Kim Possible voice actress. “We are going to raise both our daughters to believe that they can do anything!”
