Newlyweds Ed Westwick and Amy Jackson are thrilled to announce that they are expecting their first child together! Actress Amy, who is already a devoted mother to her five-year-old son Andreas Panayiotou from her previous relationship with George Panayiotou, revealed the news to Ed through a series of beautiful Instagram photos.
In the pictures, the couple appears ecstatic, with Amy’s growing baby bump adding to the joy of the moment.
While the couple chose not to caption the photos, fans and celebrity friends flooded the comments with their warm wishes. Ed’s former “Gossip Girl” co-star Kelly Rutherford shared two heart emojis, while TV presenter Stacey Dooley and actress Helen Flanagan congratulated them. Emma Connolly expressed her excitement, writing, “Congratulations guys!!!!!! Sooooo exciting!!!!!!!!”
This baby will be their first together, but Amy and Ed have embraced parenthood from the start of their relationship. Ed has developed a close bond with Andreas, which Amy describes as a “fundamental” part of their connection. In a recent interview, she noted, “Andreas has known Ed his whole life. He was just two when he met Ed. We were close friends, and Ed has been part of his life for as long as he can remember.”
The pregnancy announcement follows Ed and Amy’s dreamy wedding in Italy, where Andreas served as the best man. She previously shared with India Today: “Andreas has known Ed his whole life. I think he was two when he was introduced to Ed. We were very good friends, and he’s been a part of his life for as long as he can remember.”
“This bond is one of the reasons I love Ed so much—his relationship with Andreas and his support for me as a mother and as a working mom.”
