Yep, Uzo's bb bump was on full display as the actor posed on the red carpet alongside her husband, filmmaker Robert Sweeting, at the United Palace Theater in New York City last night. And though the star of the show was obvi the burgeoning bump, the Orange Is the New Black alum was dressed to the nines in a bright orange Christian Siriano suit that was accessorized with David Webb jewels, Alexandre Birman shoes, and a Judith Leiber clutch purse.

Her rep confirmed the baby news while an insider dished to People that "The happy couple is over the moon about their growing family and are excited to be parents." But real fans know the actor herself was the first person to update us via Instagram yesterday before the actual ceremony:


In the sweet vid, Uzo is seen holding a baby onesie and smiling at the camera, gushing, "Ta-da!"

"What a blessing. My husband Robert and I are so happy to enter this next chapter together as parents. I am beyond excited. I get to be someone’s Mommy! I know as the three of us continue to grow, our only, ONLY goal will be to love you, little one. My goodness. Look what God has done," she captioned the post.

She also took to her Insta Stories to post this pic alongside the cute phrase, "And baby makes three :)":

During the Tony Awards, Uzo was all smiles as she posed alongside her husband, who looked equally as excited to step out and celebrate the news.

A refresher: The couple got married in New York in 2020 but didn't make it public until the following year after Uzo posted a heartfelt Instagram tribute that quoted the movie When Harry Met Sally.


"For some of us, it can feel like we spend our whole lives waiting for our special someone. My heart, my love—I’m so happy my life started last year with you. You’re the best thing that ever happened to me. ❤️," she added.

Major congrats to these two!
