Fifty Shades Freed's Brant Daugherty & Wife Kim Expecting First Child!

Brant Daugherty and his wife Kim are expecting their first child together!

The couple – who star in and co-wrote A Christmas Movie Christmas together – announced the news in People, saying they were “both ready for the next chapter.”

“When we were first dating and thinking about being exclusive, we had a talk about what we wanted for the future. Marriage and kids were high on the list,” Brant said. “It’s exciting to be at this point now, so far along in the plan.”

About telling Brant the happy news, Kim said, “Brant‘s usually a super early riser, but for some reason on that day, he slept in. I was nervously cleaning the house just waiting for him to wake up, but it also gave me time to set up a secret camera to record his reaction. He was overjoyed.” Brant then joked, “I deny that such a tape exists.”

You may recognize Brant from his work on Pretty Little Liars or from Fifty Shades Freed, where he played Sawyer the security guard. In fact, Brant had an idea for a fourth Fifty Shades movie that fans might be into!

Congrats to the happy couple!
