I thought she also had a third child (older) from a former husband.

Really? The only kid I’ve ever heard about is Dashiell & now her new daughter.
I think she had IVF to conceive both kids, but I’m not 100% on that.

It is believed the new baby is from a set of frozen embryos from a few years ago – they used one for Dashiell and one for the new baby – it is apparently her own egg, just from an earlier time in her life!
