AceShowbiz - Wilmer Valderrama, best known for his role on "That '70s Show" and currently starring in "NCIS", is expecting another baby. His fiancee Amanda Pacheco is due to give birth to their second child this summer.
Their daughter, Nakano Oceana, has been dreaming of becoming a big sister for months. "She's been manifesting this for months," Amanda shared with People, "before I found out I was even pregnant!"
Nakano's enthusiasm is palpable, having delivered the results of her mom's pregnancy test herself and proclaiming the news to everyone she meets, "I'm going to be a big sister!"
Although the couple hasn't revealed the gender of the baby, Nakano has made her preference known. "We still don't know the gender of the baby," Amanda pointed out, "but if it was up to her, she'd love to have a baby sister."
Wilmer, reflecting on his experiences as a father, expressed, "Personally, being a girl dad has been the most fulfilling feeling."
For Wilmer, fatherhood has been transformative. He once shared in a touching Father's Day message on Instagram, "It's like the matrix, as soon as you hold your child for the first time, something else uploads. Something that has been in you, waiting to engage, to give you instincts and foresights you didn't expect was in you.. no book or person can describe what happens to your heart."
Amanda, too, cherishes every spontaneous moment of motherhood, admitting she hasn't followed rigid guidelines or read many parenting books. "Every day is quite literally a new experience for not just Nakano but myself too. Nakano has made me love being a mom, and I wouldn't want it any other way," Amanda revealed.
The couple, who began their romantic journey in 2019 and got engaged on New Year's Day 2020, are eager to embrace the chaos and joy of a growing family.
Amanda looks forward to the everyday moments, from family meals to hectic school runs. "Ultimately, I look forward to the future of my kids coming home for the holidays. It's my real dream that I hope I have the privilege of experiencing one day!"
Wilmer's vision for the future is filled with laughter and memories, as he's anticipating "more unicorn birthdays, more toys on the floor, to finish two half-eaten burritos because that would make one whole one, hearing 'Hola papá' twice when I walk in the door and giving our parents more babysitting hours because that's is the grandparent life!"
