Fans were thrilled with the post as they wished the parents well as one wrote, ‘Congratulations to you, sending much love.’
In her original announcement photos VanCamp can be seen staring down at her baby bump as she cradled her belly dressed in blue jeans and a black turtleneck with her long blonde locks let loose.
She was also joined by her husband, who held their two-year-old daughter Iris in his arms.
Not only did VanCamp unveil the baby news, she also directed a message to her pending bundle of joy, writing: ‘Not long now.. Ready when you are little love.’
The actress is wearing the same ensemble for the endearing family photo of her kissing Iris on the head, while Bowman, who has his face leaning in on their baby girl, dressed simply in blue jeans and a classic white t-shirt.
VanCamp began dating the English actor after they met on the set of the ABC drama series Revenge in late 2011.
They would go on to date for about six years until they decided to get engaged, which ultimately led to them tying-the-knot in December 2018 in the Bahamas.
It was August 2021 when VanCamp announced the birth of Iris on Instagram, sharing a black-and-white photo of her baby girl’s hand wrapped around her finger
‘Welcome to the world our sweet little Iris. Our hearts are full,’ VanCamp gushed in the post at the time.
She followed up by posting a couple of pictures from her pregnancy, including one where VanCamp and Bowman kissed while he cradled her baby bump.
In the two-and-a-half years since the couple welcomed Iris, VanCamp has been careful not to show her little girl’s face when giving her 1.3 million Instagram fans and followers some glimpses at their family life.
