Congrats are in order for “Get Out” actor Lakeith Stanfield and “The Mindy Project” star Xosha Roquemore. The two are expecting their first child!

Roquemore announced the big news on International Women’s Day, posting an Instagram slideshow of three photos showing her pregnant belly with the caption, “I am WOMBMAN.”

Roquemore and Stanfield, who also stars as Darius in “Atlanta,” hinted at their pregnancy at the Sundance Film Festival in January when the father-to-be placed his hand on her belly for a red carpet photo, E! News reported.

The couple made their first appearance together at the Los Angeles premiere of “Straight Outta Compton” in August 2015, according to E!, but it appears they’ve known each other for longer. The duo was featured in Essence magazine in February 2015 as part of the next generation of big actors. 

Congratulations to these parents-to-be!
