AceShowbiz - "Prodigal Son" star Tom Payne is expecting his first child with his Swedish model wife Jennifer Akerman.
Singer Jennifer, who also performs under the name Final Child, released the clip for her new song South of the Border on Friday, November 05, and it concludes with her husband caressing her growing stomach. The video was directed by Kanan Capshaw.
Now the British actor, who previously starred on "The Walking Dead", has confirmed to People magazine the couple will be welcoming a son.
"We're so happy to share with People that we are expecting a baby boy by the end of this year!," said Tom, before explaining how they arrived at their sweet baby announcement.
"When Jen was preparing to release a new single for her Final Child project, we had an idea for a music video that also seemed like a fun opportunity to introduce people to our news.
"She would have spent the whole video trying to hide it anyway, so we thought why not include it as a surprise ending! We had such a good time making the video and are very thankful for the small crew and extras that we were able to gather to mark such a big moment in our lives."
Tom and Jennifer tied the knot in December, 2020, eight months after their original date had to be shelved due to the COVID pandemic.
"Last night me and the love of my life got married !!!" she wrote at the time. "After having to cancel our wedding back in April and not knowing how long the world will be under lockdown, we felt like we still wanted to end this year as husband and wife, so we did. I love you so much @thetpayne and I'm so excited to spend the rest of my life with you xxxx."
