Baby on board for GH star Josh Swickard and wife

General Hospital actor Josh Swickard (Harrison Chase) and his wife, Lorynn York, just revealed a big secret: they are expecting their first child -- and the due date is only six weeks away!

Congratulations are in order for Josh Swickard (Harrison Chase, General Hospital), who is thrilled to announce that he and his wife, Lorynn York, are only a few weeks away from welcoming their first child.

The couple revealed their exciting baby news on Access Hollywood, with York enthusing, "It's been our little secret for the last eight months. I have about six weeks left of the pregnancy, so we're almost there... It happened during the filming of California Christmas!"

As fans may recall, A California Christmas was a magical Netflix holiday film written and produced by York that starred the couple in leading roles. It was so popular that the streaming service immediately ordered a sequel, which York shares has already been written and will begin shooting this summer.

York and Swickard are coy about whether or not fans will see their real-life pregnancy and/or baby factor into the film, titled A California Christmas: City Lights, but York does spill the details about how excited Swickard is to sport a dad wrap when their baby girl (yes, a baby girl!) makes her entrance into the world.

"He wants to be Brad Pitt with his baby in a sling, okay!" she teases.

Swickard is a man of few words in the interview, but what little he does say is pretty heartwarming: "I'm seeing my wife in a new way," he reveals. "I'm so obsessed with every stage that we've had so far."
