Filipino-Canadian actress Shay Mitchell is expecting her first child with her boyfriend Matte Babel.
The former Pretty Little Liars star just shared the news on her Instagram, posting a photo of herself topless with her baby bump.
“Does this mean I’m allowed to drive in the car pool lane at all times now?” the caption said.
Mitchell was last reported to be quietly dating Babel, a TV host, in January.
However, the actress has never commented publicly about her love life. Babel appears with her in her pregnancy announcement video though, where she teases she’ll be taking viewers through her pregnancy in the documentary series Almost Ready, which will be premiering July 17 on YouTube.
Mitchell, niece of Tony awardee Lea Salonga (Shay’s mom, Precious Garcia, and Lea are first cousins) had already visited the country.
Mitchell did not specify how far along she is or when the baby is due.
In January, the actress revealed that she had had a miscarriage in 2018 that resulted in the loss of “the child of [her] hopes and dreams.”
