Elizabeth Banks Welcomes a New Baby Boy

Elizabeth Banks, ‘Effie Trinket’ in The Hunger Games series, and her husband Max Handelman have just increased their family by one. Elizabeth and Max just welcomed their second son, Mangus Mitchell Handelman, to the family. Mangus joins older brother Felix in keeping mom and dad busy.
 
Banks confirmed the news on her official website (be sure to subscribe if you’re a fan of Banks’ work):
 
“Like Felix, Magnus was born via gestational surrogate,” says Elizabeth. “This experience has exceeded all expectations, taught us a great deal about generosity and gratitude, and established a relationship that will last a lifetime. I am also so very thankful to our family and friends for their support throughout this process, as well as the Center for Surrogate Parenting for helping make all this possible.
 
I now turn my attention to managing two boys under two. For which I am thankful. And all their poop. For which I am less thankful.”
 
Congratulations to Elizabeth and Max. Hopefully, the poop won’t be too overwhelming.
