Teyonah Parris is expecting her first child — and married!
The 34-year-old WandaVision actress shared her pregnancy is five months along in a recent interview with PEOPLE.
Since Teyonah has kept fairly private about her romantic life throughout her career, the disclosure that she is married also comes as happy news.
The actress expressed she was “flooded with so many emotions and excitement” when she saw her positive pregnancy test.
“I was definitely surprised and a bit shocked. But I was only surprised because we’ve been trying for a while and had not had any success,” she told the outlet. “I used the Clearblue Pregnancy Test, so the fact that it clearly stated ‘pregnant,’ there was no confusion this go round. So that was exciting.”
Teyonah revealed the big news to her husband James when she made a “little gift box and put the pregnancy test in there along with some other little first-time dad goodies.”
“And he just started screaming — he was just very emotional and excited and we were crying and just really, really happy,” she said about his reaction.
