“Actress Mae Whitman Announces Pregnancy and Excitement for First Child”
Mae Whitman is embarking on a new journey as a parent.
Even though it has been almost ten years since the 35-year-old starred in Parenthood, Mae turned to her former costars Lauren Graham and Miles Heizer (her on-screen mother and brother) to share some exciting news: She is pregnant with her first child.
“Not to turn this into a parenthood episode or anything but!!!” the Good Girls actress wrote in her Instagram post on May 12, along with a pregnant woman emoji. “Mother’s Day is a bit different this year! Can’t wait to meet you, little one kicking me from the inside out! #reveal.”
She kicked off her announcement with a black and white photo of herself, Lauren, and Miles, showcasing her growing baby bump. She then shared three stills from when her Parenthood character Amber was pregnant.
Since the conclusion of the NBC show in 2015 after six seasons, Mae, Miles, and Lauren have demonstrated that their tight-knit on-screen relationship has translated off-screen as well.
On Lauren’s birthday in March 2023, Mae made sure to send some love to the Gilmore Girls alum.
