"The Help" star is about to welcome a new addition to her family.
ESSENCE August cover girl Viola Davis, 45, is having one heck of a summer. She's already starring in one of the most-talked about movie of the year, and now she's about to be a new mommy.
On the red carpet of "The Help" premiere last night, Davis told E News that she and husband, actor Julius Tennon, were about to adopt a baby.
"Yes, we're about to adopt a baby," she said, though she wouldn't elaborate on whether it's a girl or boy. She did add that they were planning a domestic adoption.
This will be the couple's first child together. Tennon has two children of his own.
Congrats Viola and Julian!
