The exciting news comes after the pair opened up about their plans to have a family in April.
They admitted they are now thinking about the next stage of their marriage, after celebrating their relationship’s ten-year anniversary last March.
Speaking to the French magazine Point de Vue, the couple admitted they both wanted a child, but while Louis wanted to dive right in, events executive Marie wanted to wait in order to focus on her career.
Marie said she would like to stop after two kids, while Louis, who works as an advisor for international projects at Nottingham Forest football club, would like to go up to four
The couple admitted the women in their respective families, including his mother, Princess Stephanie of Monaco and his sisters, Pauline Ducruet and Camille Gottlieb often ask them when they will have a baby.
Marie said she would like to stop after two kids, while Louis, who works as an advisor for international projects at Nottingham Forest football club, would like to go up to four.
‘It’s true that Louis has been telling me about his desire to be a dad for several years,’ Marie said.
‘I’m not totally ready yet. I would like to wait a bit longer, but maybe next year?’ she said.
‘Thirty would be a beautiful age to make this project come true,’ her husband added.
And the couple have admitted they also have different views when it comes to the number of children they would like.
‘Ideally, I’d like to have three to four children. I have one brother and three sisters,’ Louis said. ‘Having a big family just like mine would be true bliss.’
However his wife said she’d rather stop at two children.
The couple started dating as students when they were both attending Skema Business School in Sophia Antipolis, France, in 2011.
Love-struck Louis popped the question to Marie in 2018, during a romantic beach proposal.
Louis, who is grandson of Rainier III, Prince of Monaco, and American actress Grace Kelly shared their engagement on Instagram, with a picture of the happy couple on a beach, with him on bended knee and said: ‘Let me introduce you the future madame Ducruet. She said yes and we are now engaged.

The couple went on to have a more lavish affair later on – marrying at Monaco’s Cathedral with an emotional religious ceremony at Monaco’s cathedral, where Marie was seen dabbing her eyes, overcome with happiness as she pulled up in a white Rolls Royce.
The bride’s dress for the religious ceremony was created by Atelier Boisanger.
The dress was made of Zagar and Chantilly Lace, while according to their designers the dress also took 300 hours of delicate embroideries.
