She is heavily pregnant with her second child by fiance Dave Gardner.

But that did not stop energetic Liv Tyler from wearing her baby son sailor in a sling as she headed out to lunch with a friend in New York on Tuesday.

The Lord Of The Rings star was full of joy as she stretched her legs on a pleasantly temperate day in the Big Apple.

The 38-year-old mother-of-two looked in rude health as she enjoyed the fresh air in an black anorak, maternity top, comfy leggings and flat shoes.

Her boy, who just turned one last month, looked as cute as a button in a pullover, casual trousers and a matching orange hat and socks.

Doctors now recommend keeping as active as possible throughout pregnancy, and it is certainly a piece of advice Liv, whose father is Aerosmith rocker Steven Tyler, seems to have taken to heart.

Joking about how she has been in a state of near constant pregnancy in recent times, the Leftovers star said: 'I have been pregnant for two years straight. It feels like forever.'

The divorcee also has an 11-year-old Milo by her Spacehog rocker ex-husband Royston Langdon.

They began dating in 1998, and got wed in 2003, but sadly ended up divorcing in 2008. 

Liv recently returned to her home in New York from London, where her fiance, best known for being David Beckham's loyal sidekick, lives with his eight-year-old son Gray.

She said: 'We are back and forth. I am still mostly in New York but spending a lot of time here.

'David's son is here and also his job. It's hard. It's beautiful. 'It is what it is. It's what we signed up for. It's an evolving thing.'
