April 6 (UPI) — Wizards of Waverly Place star David Henrie is expecting his fourth child with his wife, Maria Cahill.
The actor took to Instagram to share the news Monday morning.
“Maria is 5 months pregnant!” Henrie said in his post. “Crazy story. Long story short, Maria and I had made peace with the idea that the ‘big family’ dream might not be God’s plan for us. Which was fine. We’re grateful for our 3!”
The couple already shares 7-year-old Pia, 5-year-old James and 3-year-old Gemma.
Henrie attributed the pregnancy to “a miraculous encounter… and the intercession of St. Teresa of Avila.”
Cahill updated the caption with an edit of her own.
“While I’m so excited for David to share this with you, I also know that it can be so hard to read pregnancy announcements when you’re the one that’s trying to have a baby and nothing seems to be working,” she began. “I’ve been there — trying to be happy for others but simultaneously grieving a happiness that I wish could have been mine. While I’m so overjoyed to add a brother to our family, I can’t help but think of all of you women. Know that I see you all, am thinking of you today, and are praying hard for your future pregnancies.”
“It took many years for me to come to terms with letting go of what I pictured as my ‘perfect family’ but I promise you that God’s will for us (or what He allows to happen) is beyond our understanding and one day, things will hopefully make sense. Love you, Ladies,” she added.
