The exciting news came just one month after Brooks gave birth to a baby girl. She first made the announcement back in July that she would be expecting her first child. “So elated to finally share this news with you all. I’m happily pregnant!” she captured in the photos after sharing the news with fans. Since then, she proudly displayed her growing bump with fans regularly in photos and videos.
Another way the actress surprised fans with the news was when she changed her Instagram profile to, “I predict I’m going to be a MOMMY!” then revealed in a post that she was five months in.
