By Jasmine Grant · Updated November 11, 2020

2020 is bringing about a bundle of new blessings for married actors Leslie Odom Jr and Nicolette Robinson. The couple just announced that they’re expanding their family and will soon be welcoming a baby boy.

The announcement was made via Instagram on Monday (Nov. 9) in the form of family photos taken by photographer Phoebe Joaquin. The couple posed with their three-year-old daughter Lucille, who appears to be excited about becoming a big sister as she and dad rub mama’s belly.

“Lots of reasons to celebrate over here. Lots of reasons for hope too,” Odom captioned the photo. “Baby boy and mama are doing swell. Praying for him and all the little ones on the way! The new class!! We’ll make it right for you.”
