Pretty Little Liars alum Troian Bellisario and Suits star Patrick J. Adams have revealed they’re expanding their family once again. The fan-favorite couple announced they’re expecting their third child in a pair of heartfelt Instagram posts that arrived just one day apart, turning a milestone birthday into a family milestone, too.
Bellisario, 40, and Adams, 44, married in 2016 and are parents to two daughters: Aurora, 7, and Elliot, 4. Their latest announcement marks an exciting new chapter for the TV veterans, who have long balanced buzzy screen careers with an intentionally grounded approach to parenting.
Birthday Reveal & Instagram Confirmation
The news first surfaced on November 3, when Bellisario celebrated turning 40 by looking back at the last decade — and subtly nodding to what’s next. In a short video shared to Instagram, fans spotted her baby bump as she reflected on the years that shaped her thirties. Her caption removed any doubt: “Here comes a new decade and a whole new human to go with it.”
A day later, Adams made the pregnancy Instagram-official with a striking black-and-white photo of Bellisario standing by a window, hands gently cradling her bump. The intimate image set the tone for a longer message about the mystery and magic of welcoming a new child.
“We don’t know your name yet. We don’t know your gender. We don’t know what your smile looks like or what your first laugh will do to our hearts,” Adams wrote on November 4, accompanying the portrait. “We don’t know what will make you laugh or cry or what food you will fall in love with first. We don’t know what will scare you or how you’ll learn to overcome it. We don’t know what kind of music will make you want to move or what kind of clothes you’ll reach for when your arms are strong enough to grab them.”
The actor’s caption quickly resonated with followers from both the Pretty Little Liars and Suits communities, drawing praise for its honest, unassuming look at early parenthood — that period of waiting where love arrives long before all the answers do.
“We’ve Been Here Before — But Never With You”
Even with two children at home, Adams stressed that adding another little one carries its own singular thrill. “We’ve been here before but we’ve never been here with you and so we really know nothing at all. Almost nothing,” he continued. “What we do know is that we have an infinite supply of love waiting for you. Love, laughter, tears, dance parties, lullabies and lessons. We’ll show you some stuff but you will teach us everything else. We don’t know much but we know there is nothing we want to be more than your parents.”
It’s a sentiment that mirrors how the couple has publicly approached family life: open about the joys and challenges, but measured in what they share. Adams closed his message by acknowledging both the uncertainty and the wonder that define the early days of a new chapter. “It’s a strange stage you’re about to walk out on but we’ll be right there with you for the whole terrifying, wonderful and beautiful show,” he wrote. “Thanks for choosing us. We will always choose you.”
As for the due date, the pair didn’t confirm a timeline, though Adams teasingly signed off with a single word that suggests the wait won’t be long: “Soon…”
A Growing Family For Two TV Favorites
Bellisario, best known for her portrayal of Spencer Hastings on the hit teen mystery Pretty Little Liars, and Adams, who rose to prominence as Mike Ross on USA’s legal drama Suits, have cultivated passionate fanbases thanks to their long-running series. Their careers frequently intersect with their personal lives on social media, where they share occasional snapshots of family moments and behind-the-scenes glimpses for fans.
By framing their announcement with an evocative image and reflective captions, the couple emphasized connection over spectacle. The black-and-white composition of Adams’ photo underlines the intimate tone of his message, while Bellisario’s birthday post makes the reveal feel both celebratory and grounded — a private joy shared publicly with care.
Bellisario’s caption nods gracefully to turning 40, a milestone that often invites big-picture reflection. Pairing that with the phrase “a whole new human” gives the announcement an elegant simplicity, underscoring that this next decade will be defined as much by family as by career milestones. For Adams, the poetic cadence of his note highlights the way anticipation and uncertainty coexist before a baby arrives — a feeling many parents recognize, and one that made his words widely shareable beyond their immediate fan circles.
With Aurora and Elliot now school-age and preschool-age, Baby No. 3 will join a household that’s already navigated first laughs, late nights, and everything in between. While the couple kept specifics to a minimum, their posts convey a clear message: they’re embracing the unknowns with humor, humility, and a lot of love.
What Fans Can Expect Next
Beyond the initial reveal, Bellisario and Adams didn’t share additional details such as the due date or sex of the baby — and Adams’ caption suggests they’re content to discover those answers in time. For now, fans can likely expect occasional updates via Instagram, where the couple has curated a steady, thoughtful cadence for personal news.
Until then, their words tell the story: a new child, a new chapter, and a family ready to welcome one more. As Adams put it best, it’s a “terrifying, wonderful and beautiful show,” and their audience is cheering from the front row.
