Ashley Benson<\/a> added heart-eyed emojis, while Marlene King chimed in with, ‘Oh baby! Mazel Tov! A party of five now!’<\/p>\n

At the time, the actress shared a glimpse of the milestone with a laid-back camping trip alongside Adams, posting footage of the couple traveling in a camper van before settling into a serene, desert-like setting.<\/p>\n

‘Here comes a new decade and a whole new human to go with it,’ Bellisario wrote at the time, as she posed on a blanket showing off her baby bump.<\/p>\n

Adams, who played Meghan Markle’s love interest on Suits<\/a>, also shared a stunning black-and-white photo of his wife cradling her bump on Instagram, accompanied by a heartfelt caption.<\/p>\n

He wrote, \u2018We don\u2019t know your name yet. We don\u2019t know your gender. We don\u2019t know what your smile looks like or what your first laugh will do to our hearts.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘We don\u2019t what will make you laugh or cry or what food you will fall in love with first. We don\u2019t know what will scare you or how you\u2019ll learn to overcome it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘We don\u2019t know what kind of music will make you want to move or what kind of clothes you\u2019ll reach for when your arms are strong enough to grab them. We don\u2019t know exactly what kind of gymnastics our hearts will do when we get to hold you for the first time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘We\u2019ve been here before but we\u2019ve never been here with you and so we really know nothing at all. Almost nothing. What we do know is that we have an infinite supply of love waiting for you. Love, laughter, tears, dance parties, lullabies and lessons.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘We\u2019ll show you some stuff but you will teach us everything else. We don\u2019t know much but we know there is nothing we want to be more than your parents.\u00a0<\/p>\n
