The Younger alum and her wife, Hannah Lieberman, are expecting their first baby together, which Bernard officially announced with an Instagram post on Thursday, Nov. 3. “Thrilled to share the very happy news that @liebhan and I are expecting our first gayby!” the actress, 34, wrote in her caption. “We couldn’t be more excited to start our parenthood journey!” Bernard also shared a series of photos revealing her growing baby bump and posing for a selfie with Lieberman, whom she married in September 2021. “Creating a queer family in a world where lgbtq+ rights are constantly under threat is a daunting task,” the caption continued. “Loving Hannah has been one of the most profound highlights of my life and I am honored I get to be a parent with her.” The Milkwater star then went on to use her announcement to advocate for reproductive rights and encourage her followers to vote in the upcoming midterm elections. “Because I am who I am I’d like to say the following: pregnancy is a choice, no one should be forced by law to do this,” she wrote. “And please—I urge you to vote for the people in this midterm election who will protect our right to be a family, not threaten to obliterate it.” Bernard also shared a slide in her post with a quote about reproductive rights from writer Maggie Nelson, which reads, “Never in my life have I felt more pro-choice than when I was pregnant. And never in my life have I understood more thoroughly, and been more excited about, a life that began at conception. Feminists may never make a bumper sticker that says ‘It’s a choice and a child,’ but of course that’s what it is, and we know it. We’re not idiots; we understand the stakes. Sometimes we choose death.” Bernard’s post garnered tons of love from her friends and followers, including her Chicago Med co-star Torrey DeVitto, who commented, “This is beautiful news !! ❤️❤️❤️ congrats!” Actress Ashley Park also commented, writing, “Yes ladies and babies 😍.” More News:
