AceShowbiz - "Gossip Girl" fans have another reason to celebrate. Actor Ed Westwick and his wife, Amy Jackson, are expecting their first child together, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the couple.

The joyous announcement came via a series of sweet Instagram photos posted by the couple on October 31, showcasing Jackson's baby bump. The British actor and his model wife, who only tied the knot in August, couldn't look happier as they prepare to welcome their bundle of joy.

The couple's maternity photoshoot featured Jackson, 32, in a form-fitting ivory slip dress and Westwick, 37, dressed casually in a white tee and black pants. Their friends and fans quickly flooded the comments with congratulatory messages.

"Oh my goodness - what a joy! Biggest congratulations, over the moon for you all!! Biggest love," wrote model Daisy Lowe. Kelly Rutherford, Westwick's former "Gossip Girl" co-star, added her support with heart emojis.

Westwick and Jackson's love story began in 2021 at an Aston Martin racing event. The actor, known for his role as Chuck Bass on "Gossip Girl", made his first move by inviting Jackson for coffee. Their connection was instant and has only grown stronger over the years. "We had a wonderful day and she beat me. Her lap time was a lot better than mine!" Westwick recalled in an interview with Hello! magazine.

Their romance quickly blossomed, leading to a picturesque wedding on the Amalfi Coast in August 2024. Jackson's son from a previous relationship, five-year-old Andreas, played a significant role in the wedding, serving as Westwick's best man. "I think it's a really beautiful way to honour their bond and make sure he feels part of our celebration," Jackson said.

Jackson has always appreciated Westwick's affection for her son. "I think he was 2 when he was introduced to Ed," she mentioned in an interview earlier this year. Their strong family unit is one of the reasons Jackson holds Westwick in such high regard.

As the couple eagerly awaits the arrival of their new baby, their supporters continue to shower them with love. Fans have taken to social media with heartwarming reactions, encapsulating the widespread joy surrounding this happy news. "Spotted: Ed Westwick aka the legendary Chuck Bass is going to be a daddy," one fan humorously commented, channeling the iconic "Gossip Girl" narrator.

With a supportive family and an exciting future ahead, Ed Westwick and Amy Jackson are ready to embrace their new roles as parents together. Their journey is just beginning, and there's no doubt it will be filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments.
