This Is Us actor Chris Sullivan and wife Rachel welcome 'healthy' baby three weeks early

This Is Us star Chris Sullivan has welcomed a 'healthy' baby with wife Rachel.

The couple's second child arrived three weeks early, but the Toby Damon actor insists their newborn daughter is "fully grown".

Chris, 42, shared a clip to Instagram showing their son Bear holding his new baby sister.

He captioned the adorable video: "Please meet AOIFE BEA! She came 3 weeks early, fully grown, healthy and VERY strong.

"A super fast and smooth delivery (much to her mother's relief)."

Chris and Rachel exchanged vows in 2010 and welcomed son Bear in July 2020 – they said he was "enamored and overjoyed" when his sister was brought home.

According to Chris, the youngster was telling everyone 'baby coming!' the day she was born.

"She has immediately captured our hearts and doubled the love," he penned on Instagram.

The couple's baby announcement was made in May earlier this year, with Chris saying Rachel was expecting in early November.

At the time, he said: "We have wrapped my final scenes for #thisisus.

This Is Us premiered on Amazon Prime and Disney+ (Channel 4)

"What an incredible 6 years these have been. With every end, there is a new beginning … so here is a trailer of what's to come."

At the beginning of this year, Disney+ and Prime Video announced that the sixth and final season of This Is Us will premiere on both streaming services in the UK & Ireland.

This Is Us was created by Dan Fogelman , and premiered back in 2016. It has been a major success for NBC in the US, receiving quite a few Emmy nominations and wins.

The series chronicles the Pearson family across the decades: from Jack ( Milo Ventimiglia ) and Rebecca ( Mandy Moore ) as young parents in the 1980s to their kids (the big three), Kevin ( Justin Hartley ), Kate ( Chrissy Metz ) and Randall ( Sterling K. Brown ) searching for love and fulfilment in the present day along with Toby ( Chris Sullivan ) and Beth ( Susan Kelechi Watson).

This grounded, life-affirming dramedy reveals how the tiniest events in our lives impact who we become, and how the connections we share with each other can transcend time, distance and even death.

Despite its success, This Is Us‘ creators announced that the upcoming 6th season, which is expected to have 18 episodes, will be the show’s final season.
