Troian Bellisario and Patrick J. Adams share they’re expecting baby No. 3—with a love letter to their future child
“We don’t know your name yet. We don’t know your smile. But we already have an infinite supply of love waiting for you.” With these words, Patrick J. Adams captured the awe, uncertainty, and unconditional love that so many parents feel but rarely articulate in an Instagram post.
The Suits star shared the heartfelt note alongside a photo of his wife, Pretty Little Liars actress Troian Bellisario, cradling her baby bump, announcing they are expecting their third child. The news coincided with Bellisario’s 40th birthday, adding a personal milestone to a family celebration.
A love letter to the baby they haven’t met yet
Patrick’s post reads like a love letter written in real time, filled with poetic anticipation and tenderness.
“We don’t know your gender. We don’t know what your first laugh will do to our hearts. We don’t know what will make you laugh or cry… Almost nothing. What we do know is that we have an infinite supply of love waiting for you,” he is said to have shared.
The words capture the unique space parents occupy when expecting a new child: a mixture of wonder, humility, and readiness to learn all over again.
Bellisario’s own post reflected gratitude, both for the people in her life and the growth she feels entering a new decade. “Here comes a new decade and a whole new human to go with it,” she is said to have written, acknowledging the simultaneous excitement of a personal milestone and the anticipation of welcoming a new family member.

A look at their growing family
The couple met in 2009 during the play Equivocation and reunited after Adams guest-starred on Pretty Little Liars in 2010. They married in December 2016 in Santa Barbara.
Their daughters, Aurora, born in 2018, and Elliot, born in 2021, have already brought lessons, joy, and laughter into their home. Fans familiar with their candid reflections on pregnancy and early parenthood know that Bellisario and Adams have long been open about the highs and lows of growing their family.
What makes this pregnancy feel different
Welcoming a third child often strikes a balance between familiarity and discovery. But there’s another deeper layer: after two babies, you’re seasoned enough to recognise patterns, but wise enough to know no two children are the same. The comfort of having done it before meets the humility of realising you’re still meeting a completely new person for the first time.
A recent article from Business Insider notes that having a third child brings “unexpected challenges and joys” because the family dynamic shifts in ways parents didn’t anticipate., reinforcing that parenting the third time isn’t just more of the same.
And as per Berkeley Parents Network, “family dynamics will change … you’ll find yourselves busier with the juggle,” the piece observes, pointing out that having a third means recalibrating both your habits and your hormones of expectation.
In their announcement, Patrick J. Adams’s post reflects this duality perfectly: the familiarity of loving their daughters already, paired with the blank slate of “we don’t know your name yet… what will make you laugh or cry…” The message reminds us that every child brings not just love, but a fresh lesson in what it means to parents.
Why fans connected so deeply
Fans responded to the announcement with admiration, calling Patrick’s caption “beautiful,” “poetic,” and “heartfelt.” The reason it resonates is clear: few parents pause to articulate the magnitude of their love in such open, introspective language.
