In an Instagram post shared Sunday, Mae Whitman announced her pregnancy with the “help” of her former TV mom, Lauren Graham, and TV brother, Miles Heizer.
“Not to make a Parenthood episode out of it or anything but!!! Mother’s Day looking a little different this year!” she wrote in a caption beneath a black-and-white photo with her TV fam. “Can’t wait to meet you, huge baby kicking my insides to filth! #ruveal”
Whitman’s Parenthood aunt Erika Christensen (aka Julia) was among the first to comment on her Instagram post, writing: “Hashtag ruveal lol AMAZING!!!!!!”
The mom-to-be’s Good Girls co-star Christina Hendricks also offered her congratulations. “I’m so happy for you,” she wrote.
Parenthood ran for six seasons, between 2010 and 2015. The NBC drama followed the Braverman family, comprised of patriarch Zeek (Craig T. Nelson), matriarch Camille (Bonnie Bedelia) and the families of their four children: Adam (Peter Krause), Sarah (Graham), Crosby (Dax Shepard) and Julia (Christensen). Whitman and Heizer played Graham’s teenage children, Amber and Drew.
The 2015 series finale made TVLine’s lists of the Best Series Finales of the 2010s … and the Best Series Finales of All Time . The episode marked the passing of Zeek, then transformed into a bittersweet celebration of love and family thanks to a several-year time jump showing how the rest of the family carried on. (Whitman’s Amber, who welcomed a son named after Zeek in the series’ penultimate hour, went on to have second child with her future husband, played all-too-briefly by Friday Night Lights’ Scott Porter).
