Vanessa revealed she and her hubby found out they were expecting on the morning of May 20. “Looking back I’m so happy I took this picture,” she captioned a shot of her positive pregnancy test.

The actress and baseball player tied the knot on January 4 at the Historic Walton House in Homestead, Florida. The two said “I do” in an intimate ceremony with their family and friends, including several of Vanessa’s Riverdale costars.

“We both knew the first day we met that ‘this is it’ and I’m so excited that today officially starts our forever,” Vanessa told E! News about their special day.  “Today, I vowed to love my best friend for a lifetime and it was a day spent with those we love in a room filled with endless love. I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with him.”

Congrats to the happy couple on their next chapter!
