Fans were delighted with the post as they wished the parents the best, with one writing: ‘Congratulations to you, sending lots of love.’

In her original announcement photos, VanCamp can be seen staring down her baby bump while cradling her belly dressed in blue jeans and a black turtleneck with her long blonde locks loose.

She was also joined by her husband, who held their two-year-old daughter Iris in his arms.

Not only did VanCamp reveal the baby news, she also sent a message to her expecting bundle of joy, writing: ‘Not long now.. Ready when you’re little love.’

The actress is wearing the same ensemble for the endearing family photo of her kissing Iris on the head, while Bowman, who has his face leaned against their baby girl, kept it simple in blue jeans and a classic white t-shirt.

VanCamp began dating the English actor after they met on the set of the ABC drama series Revenge in late 2011.

They would continue dating for about six years until they decided to get engaged, which ultimately led to them tying the knot in December 2018 in the Bahamas.

It was August 2021 when VanCamp announced the birth of Iris on Instagram, sharing a black-and-white photo of her baby girl’s hand wrapped around her finger

‘Welcome to the world, our sweet little Iris. Our hearts are full,’ VanCamp gushed in the post at the time.

She followed up by posting a few photos from her pregnancy, including one of VanCamp and Bowman kissing while he cradled her baby bump.

In the two and a half years since the couple welcomed Iris, VanCamp has been careful not to show her little girl’s face, giving her 1.3 million Instagram fans and followers glimpses of their family life.

Just last December, the proud wife and mother celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary by sharing a series of photos of them enjoying each other’s company over the years.
