Katherine Heigl took to social media to release some very exciting news: she’s pregnant!
The mother-of-two confirmed that after adopting her first two children, she and her husband Josh Kelley are expecting via a picture of her sonogram on Instagram.
Alongside the picture, she wrote, “@joshbkelley and I have some news … go to thoseheavenlydays.com and I’ll tell you allllll about it!”
She then shared even more exciting news on her Heavenly Days blog.
“Blue is for… boy!” she wrote excitedly, next to a photo of her fingers tucked up inside a tiny pair of knitted blue booties.
Katherine reveals it was very much an unexpected pregnancy.
“It was totally unexpected but thrilling nonetheless,” she confessed.
It will be the couple’s third child, but their first boy, and first biological child.
The 37-year-old says that daughters Naleigh and Adalaide can’t wait to be big sisters.
“Naleigh and Adalaide are over the moon and cannot wait to spoil their new sibling rotten,” the former Grey’s Anatomy actress said.
“And of course Josh and I are full of high hopes and bubbling anticipation.”
She continued: “The whole pregnancy thing is new to me but the thrill of having a baby is not.
“Seeing as I have never been pregnant and as my OB/GYN reminded me last year, I’m of advanced maternal age, I wasn’t sure pregnancy was even in the cards for us. Turns out it was very much in the cards!”
The actress, who has a reputation as a bit of a handful on set, is looking forward to giving birth but says she’s impatient.

Singer Josh also shared the news on social media, saying that “the cat’s out of the bag” now.
“We’re so excited people!!! What an awesome journey!!!” he captioned a screenshot of a story announcing the pregnancy. “Can’t wait to hold this little nugget.”
