It was in July when the couple announced they were expecting for the second time. Robert Downey, Jr. met Susan on the set of the film Gothika back in 2003. Word of baby Avri’s birth was some positive news that was badly needed by the Downey family. A little less than two months ago, Robert Downey, Jr.’s mother, actress Elsie Downey, died in Los Angeles. She was 80 years old.
