Robin Thicke and girlfriend April Love Geary are expecting their first child together
The couple announced the happy news over Instagram
Singer Robin Thicke and his long-term girlfriend April Love Geary have announced they're having a baby.
This will be the first child for the couple, who reportedly started dating in May 2015.
April took to Instagram this week to share the happy news, posting a picture of a her sonogram and revealing that she's about three months along already.
'Robin and I are very excited to share with you all that we're having a baby!' she told her 115k followers. 'The due date us March 1st, Alan's birthday!'
Alan is a reference to Robin's father Alan Thicke, who sadly passed away suddenly from a heart attack in December last year - making the expected date of the baby's arrival particularly poignant. Taking to Instagram to pay tribute at the time, Robin wrote: 'My father passed away today.'
'He was the best man I ever knew. The best friend I ever had. Let's all rejoice and celebrate the joy he brought to every room he was in. We love you Alan Thicke. Thank you for the love. Love, your grateful son.'
Fans couldn't be more delighted for the parents-to-be, with April's post already attracting over 6,000 likes and hundreds of comments.
