Taystee is pregnant!!
Danielle Brooks, who plays the beloved prison character in "Orange is The New Black," announced she's expecting her first child.
Sharing the news by displaying her Clearblue results, she ecstatically shared the news to fans on social media Tuesday, putting an emphasis on her "new beginning" as her Netflix show gets ready to air its final season.
"When one chapter ends, another begins," she wrote. "Super excited to share with you my new beginning, I'M PREGNANT."
Baring her baby bump for the world to see, Brooks proudly showcased her growing belly while announcing she's 5 weeks.
Sporting a circular sticker reading "20 weeks," the mom to be is smiling from ear to ear.
Giving fans an update on her health, she says she's "20 weeks in and feeling good!"
She also posted on her IG story, plugging the massive pregnancy test brand.
"So elated to finally share this news with you all. I’m happily pregnant!" Brooks wrote.
She doesn't tag the father, but fans are assuming it's the man she's been linked to since 2018.
Brooks has been very private about their romantic relationship, even avoiding using his real name on social media -- she calls him "D."
The last snap she shared with him was in September -- when they were away on vacation riding around on jet skis.
"Love it when he pulls me close," the actress wrote, hashtagging "#rideordie" and "#baewatch."
They make a fantastic looking couple, which means they could be in a lot of trouble once their child gets older.
Brooks also shared this black and white snap in February last year. All dressed up and beaming with happiness, her caption says it all.
"What I’ve always imagined love to feel like," she wrote.
Wearing a sequined gown, Brooks looks crazy in love with her tuxedo wearing man.
"OITNB" Season 7 airs on July 26th.
