There's a baby on the way for Danielle Brooks

The Orange Is the New Black actress has a new role ahead: mom. "So elated to finally share this news with you all. I'm happily pregnant!" the 29-year-old Tony Award nominee shared in a Clearblue-sponsored Instagram post.

The star was most likely referencing the upcoming final season of the hit Netflix series, which she has starred in for six years. 

 

While that story is nearing its end, we bet Brooks' co-stars couldn't be happier for her next one. 

In the words of Uzo Aduba, "Whoa whoa!!! Congratulations!!!"

Congratulations indeed to the new mom-to-be!
