Toper Grace and wife Ashley Hinshaw are expanding their brood.
The 44-year-old That’s ’70s Show actor shared the exciting news during a Friday appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show. He also made sure to give his wife a special shoutout.
“We’re excited,” he said, letting Hinshaw continue flowing, “And I’d like to take this moment on national TV to say how beautiful and wonderful she is.”
Grace and Hinshaw – who tied the knot in 2016 – already share daughter Mabel Jane (5) and a second child who was born in 2021.
The actor told host Kelly Clarkson that he has noticed differences in friends’ reactions to each pregnancy announcement.
“Everyone says with the first baby they say, ‘Congratulations!’ On the second, they say, ‘Congratulations,’ he said, adding jokingly, ‘And on the third baby it’s, ‘Congratulations?’ — with a question mark.”
For her part, Clarkson, 40 – who shares children River Rose, 8, and Remington, 6, with ex-husband Brandon Blackstock – was ecstatic.
“That is exciting. Your family is getting bigger, that’s good!” the “American Idol” Season 1 winner enthusiastically, to which Grace joked back, “Yeah. come back to me in about a year.”
Reflecting on the pandemic birth of his last child during an April 2021 interview on “Live! With Kelly and Ryan,” the “BlacKkKlansman” star admitted he was “very nervous” that he wouldn’t be able to get into the delivery room with Hinshaw.
“Luckily at the time of the pandemic, it was okay for me to be there and in the recovery room. Since it was our second, my wife was okay with me going home,” he said with a laugh. “But I wanted to be there.”
