Fans of actress and singer Kat Graham are celebrating exciting news this week. The beloved star of The Vampire Diaries has announced she is expecting her first child with her husband, Bryant Wood.
A Joyful Instagram Reveal
On Monday evening, the 36-year-old performer took to her Instagram account, which boasts nearly 10 million followers, to share her happy update. She posted a series of intimate black-and-white Polaroid-style photographs that showcased her growing baby bump.
The collection of images featured Graham cradling her stomach, at times lifting a ribbed turtleneck to reveal her bump and in others teasing a low-cut satin bra. Her husband, wellness instructor Bryant Wood, whom she married in 2023, appeared in several tender shots, including one where he sweetly rested his head on her stomach.
The caption was simple yet overflowing with joy: 'We’re having a baby!!! ✨'. The post was set to the soundtrack of Rick James's 1981 classic, 'Give It To Me Baby'. It quickly amassed over 476,000 likes from her devoted fanbase.
Celebrating Love and Family
This pregnancy news follows the couple's unique wedding journey. Graham and Wood initially eloped in 2023 in an ultra-private ceremony at home with only their dogs as witnesses. However, they chose to celebrate their union again with family and friends on their two-year anniversary in August of this year.
In an October interview with People, the mum-to-be explained their reasoning. 'We really wanted to have a second wedding because, technically, it was our first wedding,' she said. 'It was intimate and romantic in its own way, but this time we wanted to celebrate our love surrounded by our family and friends.'
The celebration, held at a private estate in Mountain Center, California, was a vibrant fusion of their heritage. 120 guests attended the festivities, which included a 'mini ranch' complete with a mechanical bull contest. Graham emphasised the importance of blending their cultures, incorporating African music to honour her Liberian roots and Italian food for Wood's Sicilian background.
A Thanksgiving to Remember
The pregnancy announcement coincided with the Thanksgiving holiday in the United States, making the occasion doubly special for the couple. Bryant Wood shared his own celebratory post, a video snippet of the pair dancing in their kitchen while preparing a Thanksgiving meal.
He captioned the clip, 'Happy Thanksgiving from the Wood Family! We are having a baby!', echoing his wife's excitement. Graham also re-shared her original post on her Instagram Stories, reiterating the message with a playful 'Baby on board!'.
As the couple prepares for this new chapter, fans and friends continue to flood social media with congratulations for the expecting parents.
