The star was seen on Wednesday with a baby bump on display while filming her hit CW show New Girl in Los Angeles.
The actress revealed that she converted to Judaism for her husband before they wed in 2015.
The couple began dating in mid-2014 and were very low-key about their engagement and Zooey's first pregnancy.

Zooey, 36, did mention, however, that she and Jacob waited until the birth to find out the gender of their daughter.
She and her producer husband tied the knot in a super-secret ceremony in Austin, Texas on June 21, 2015.
Zooey gave birth to baby Elsie Otter the following month, in July.
Speaking about their baby girl's unusual middle name of Otter, Zooey said of the creatures on the Today Show: 'They are very sweet and they are also smart.'

'They use tools, they keep their favorite tools. They hold hands while they sleep. There are so many amazing things about otters. Who doesn't love otters.'
Zooey recently voiced the character of Bridget in Fox's new movie, Trolls, which was released on November 4.
In the animated feature film, Bridget is a scullery maid that guards trolls who were ironically captured during a loud party to celebrate their freedom.
The star-studded cast includes the voices of Justin Timberlake, Anna Kendrick, Russel Brand and Gwen Stefani, to name a few.
