She is already a mama to two gorgeous girls, but, in December, Katherine Heigl and her husband Josh Kelly added a little boy to their brood too – and finally we have gotten a glimpse of their latest arrival.
In an exclusive photo shoot for People magazine, the besotted new parents show off little Joshua Bishop Kelley Jr – who, according to his mum – was a bit of a surprise.
“It was a surprise! I knew I wanted to expand our family, I knew I wanted to have more children,” Heigl, 38, tells People at her Utah ranch for this week’s cover story. “I just didn’t know how we were going to go about that.”
The actress calls herself “one of those people who really thinks, I have to schedule, I have to plan this out,” so finding out she was expecting just as she was back at work on her TV series, Doubt, wasn’t ideal.
“I’ll be totally honest, my first reaction was ‘Oh s—,’ ” she says. “But now we have a new normal, and I have to give myself a break in order to get used to it.”
Heigl explains how she and her husband, who are already parents to two adopted daugthers, and , didn’t always see pregnancy as part of their path to parenthood. For years, she explains, carrying a child herself “didn’t ever really speak to me. I got really invested in adoption. I didn’t look back or even think about it,” she says. “Only when I was about 35 did I start going, ‘Well, should we consider getting pregnant?’ You don’t want the choice to be taken away from you.”
Nwah! And now look what she got! Baby Josh is one cute surprise if we ever saw one!
