The couple announced that they are expecting their first child together in 2020 and will welcome their daughter Bowie Ella in January 2021.
Jessica confirmed the baby’s arrival on social media, sharing a photo of her hand.
“Added a special sweetness to our family on 1/11/21 Bowie Ella Richardson and gave our journey some new directions,” her caption read.

“To then create a human being who is absolutely perfect in our eyes and to bring a feeling into my heart that I didn’t know existed is indescribable,” she added.
