The 40-year-old star, who is currently starring in a Broadway revival of the hit musical Chicago, has been open about her battle to overcome post-natal depression the first time she became a mother. Later Brooke turned her experience into the subject of a book, Down Came the Rain: My Journey Through Postpartum Depression.

In her account the star revealed that she had suicidal thoughts and had to be prescribed anti-depressants. Her admission prompted a public clash with Tom Cruise, who questioned the use of medication to treat the illness.

Brooke and Chris, who married in 2001, already have a two-year-old daughter Rowan Francis.
