Maggie Gyllenhaal is having "crazy cravings", says her husband Peter Sarsgaard.

The couple are expecting their second baby and opened up to OK! magazine about how the pregnancy is going so far.

Although Maggie has been having strange desires for things, it is not as bad as the last time.

"Everyday there's crazy cravings," he told the publication. "The last pregnancy was more craving oriented.

"But we went for dinner earlier and she has not been into eating meat. So it's been recommended for the iron we ordered it and we both just looked at it because I don't eat a lot of meat either.

"So we just sort of sat there and stared at it, thought about it."

The couple are already parents to daughter Ramona but did not want to reveal their new baby's sex.

"We do know, but we're not sharing," Peter said and added they have not yet picked out a name.
