Supernatural's Ruth Connell (44) and Rob Benedict (53) - who've been together for four years - have announced they're expecting their first child together, a girl, in January. The baby will

They're cute and I'm thrilled for them! Excited to hear what name they choose too.

They technically announced the news during a meet and greet last month but most of fandom got super weird and quiet about it because they didn't say anything on social media. Literally telling fans at an event was them announcing it and expecting the news to get out. They wouldn't have said anything otherwise!

Also, huge clue in retrospect (that did raise some people's suspicions at the time)

How can we make ginger look sexy and also terrifying for the children? pic.twitter.com/6aCc2cWFDP

Wow, you know that you have truly left the fandom when news like this takes you completely by surprise lol

Congrats to them. That bébé has zero chance of ever growing tall <3

[sockymous]

same tbh.... I am like, what year is this? since when was I gone?

Why the fuck would you have a kid at 53?

[flamingicecream]

My Dad had me at 53 and he's amazing. My Mum was 41.

RB could be a Dad for many years to come and if he's happy and healthy then I'm pleased for their family.

[sibylblack]

I'm happy it worked out for you, but in most cases the child would lose the parent when they're around 30 years old, if they're lucky. But hey, in this case they're rich, so I guess it's all that matters.

Oh no, not 30+ years of being loved and cherished! How will the full adult be able to function!?

[crazyfreakyaj]

WTF? There was a SPN Con in Honolulu and I didn't know about it and completely missed it? That sucks!

He talked about how they couldn’t use certain names because they pronounce them differently.

[thrysus]

I think that's fair tbh! As a Scot previously in a relationship with an American, we talked about how there's no fucking way if we had kids we could go with a craig or a stewart, because americans pronounce it 'cregg' and 'stoort/stoowart' instead of 'crayg' and 'schtuart'. And they're right about Pearl too lol, in a heavy Scots accent that would be Perrralll.

[beuk]

My dad is Craig and he has a brother Gregg so I've always pronounced those vowels properly. I also think my local American accent says it better than others. Guilty as charged regarding Stu, tho.

[ahkna]

I don't fit anywhere. I will never pronounce my name as Schtewart and never pronounce the city I was born in as Trawna.
