“We have wrapped my final scenes for #thisisus. What an incredible 6 years these have been,” the This Is Us star, 41, wrote via Instagram on Thursday, May 5. “With every end, there is a new beginning…so here is a trailer of what’s to come.”
While some fans expected to see a montage of the actor’s time as Toby Damon on the NBC series — which comes to an end later this month after six seasons — his Instagram video was a much bigger surprise.
Chris, with the help of his and Rachel’s 21-month-old son, Bear, revealed that the couple are expanding their family once again.
In the clip, Bear is wearing a T-shirt that has the words “only child” crossed out and “big brother” written below it. The toddler then walks toward his dad, who is holding the camera, and hands him a sonogram.
“It’s a … girl!!!” Chris announced at the end of the video, adding that the little one should be “Arriving Nov 1 … ish.”
