Marvel Star Teyonah Parris Is Expecting Her First Child: ‘It’s One Of The Greatest Gifts That God Can Give Us’
By Movieguide® Contributor
WANDAVISION star Teyonah Parris made an exciting announcement: she is expecting her first child with her husband, James!
“I was definitely surprised and a bit shocked,” Parris, who is five months along, explained. “But I was only surprised because we’ve been trying for a while and had not had any success. 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.”
She presented the positive pregnancy test in a “little gift box” to her husband to tell him the good news.
“When he opened it and saw the test, and it was very clearly written, it said ‘pregnant.’ And he just started screaming, he was just very emotional and excited and we were crying and just really, really happy,” the actress shared.
Parris also revealed that the couple plan on waiting until the birth to find out the sex of the baby.
“My husband and I came to that decision because we feel like it’s one of the greatest gifts and surprises that God can give us,” she shared. “I think it’s also helped to not have preconceived notions of our child and try not to dictate who this baby is before we even meet the baby. And so that’s been really helpful.”
After the baby arrives, Parris plans to “take the time [she] needs and prayerfully be able to go back and work as many moms have done before [her].”
“We’re being very calm and it’s actually really beautiful,” she said of her and her husband’s pregnancy journey so far. “I’m really proud of us.”
