Actor Zachary Levi is going to be a dad! The Harold and the Purple Crayon star announced on Instagram that he and his girlfriend Maggie Keating are expecting their first baby together. “I’ve wanted to be a dad since I was literally a kid.”
In his post, the Shazam! star shared a sonogram image of his little one as well as a picture of him and Maggie cuddled close. He revealed his strong desire to become a dad in his caption. “I’ve wanted to be a dad since I was literally a kid. I’ve always felt that call on my life. This desire in my heart. A strange feeling of incompleteness by not having that level of love and responsibility in my journey. That the best years of my life would be on the other side of finally being a father.”
Zachary went on to share that, “deep down I knew that there were things in my life that needed to shift before I was ready for the blessing of something so special and the responsibilities that come with it.” He discussed what he did in his life to gear himself up for parenthood. “L” ast November I started to make some shifts in my life. Shifts that ultimately came down to loving and valuing myself more. Prioritizing my own health physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. And lo and behold, immediately things started to manifest for the better.” The Chuck alum then explained how the photographer came into his life. “Very quickly God brought a brilliant, honest, grounded, and deep love into my life thru the angelic form of @maggiekeating. A wonderful woman on the same journey of self discovery and love, ready to step into a new and amazing chapter of life with me. So, we did.”
The Tangled star shared the couple is “waiting until the birth to know the sex,” and shares he will “be stoked out of my mind either way.” He asked his audience for some assistance with monikers for his firstborn. “Always accepting potential baby names. Keep ‘em original, but not TOO original. We don’t need them being bullied more than their theater-nerd father.” Congratulations to Zachary and Maggie on the news of their first baby!
