Lucas Till announced that he is expecting his second child with wife Skyler Samuels as the pair attended the premiere of The Abandons in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
The 35-year-old actor - who had a brief romance with Taylor Swift back in 2009 - joined the Scream Queens alum at the screening of his new Western drama series which hit Netflix on December 4.
Till was dapper wearing a classic black suit which was paired with a white dress shirt and black tie.
Samuels flashed a cheerful smile as she showed off her growing baby bump on the red carpet.
The actress donned a long-sleeved, dark navy dress as well as a pair of closed-toed, black pumps.
The lovebirds cozied up together during a photo session at the event, with Till gently resting his hand on her stomach in one snap.
The actress jumped to her main Instagram page to share a red carpet picture and typed, 'Mom and dad's night out celebrating my handsome hubby in his new western for @netflix @theabandonsnetflix ….season 1 is streaming now and it's stellar!'
Last year in April, Samuels revealed that she welcomed her first child with Till in a Mother's Day campaign for jewelry brand Charles & Colvard.
At the time, the star was seen cradling her little one in her arms and penned to her followers, 'To all my fellow mamas out there, Mother's Day is 3 weeks away.
'Let's celebrate the hardest and most rewarding job there is by giving a little sparkle to the mamas in our life…they deserve it.'
Samuels and Till first crossed paths back in 2017 while on set of the series titled The Gifted.
'For the first three years that we had known each other, he was like really shy, and I couldn't get a read,' the actress reflected during an appearance on the podcast Wizards Of Waverly Pod.
'I was like, this guy doesn't like me at all. I don't know what his deal is,' she added, before sharing that when they 'reconnected' in 2021, she decided to make a move.
'Like I know he's shy, but I can win him over. And lo and behold, three years later, I got my date, and after that, it was off to the races.'
Samuels gushed that she was 'proud' for being 'brave' while also sharing, 'Don't be afraid to be rejected. Because most likely, the other person wants to hang out, they're just shy too...'
The Hallmark channel actress has also given insight into parenthood and told Ok! Magazine last year, 'It's by far the best job I've ever had - and the most important I ever will have.
'It's a truly joyous experience. It's beautiful, it's messy and often quite comical.'
Samuels also shared that she depends on her 'support system' while adding that raising a child 'definitely takes a village.'
She said at the time that she wants her little one 'to be thoughtful of others and the environment, you've got to take care of your people and you've got to take care of your world.'
Years earlier, Till struck up a short-lived romance with Taylor Swift in 2009 after meeting on set of her You Belong With Me music video. He had notably played her love interest at the time.
That same year, he starred in the music video for Miley Cyrus' track The Climb and also took on a role in Hannah Montana: The Movie (2009).
He opened up to MTV in a past interview about the short-lived romance and said, 'We dated for a little bit. But there was no friction because we were too nice,' per Business Insider.
'We just really both liked each other … [but] most relationships work out cause you get along and then you don't, and then you make up and its passionate, and with us I really just liked her as a friend. That's the only reason that didn't work out.'
Till has appeared in a number of other projects over the years, including the series MacGyver from 2016-2021.
He also portrayed Havok in the X-Men franchise such as X-Men: First Class (2011) and X-Men: Apocalypse (2016).
Most recently, Till has taken on a main role in the new Netflix series The Abandons by playing the character of Garret Van Ness.
The Western action drama additionally stars Gillian Anderson, Lena Headey, Nick Robinson, Diana Silvers and Lamar Johnson.
The premise is: 'When a corrupt force of wealth and power covets the lands of a group of diverse and atypical families and tries to drive them out, they must pursue their Manifest Destiny,' per an IMDB synopsis.
The series which consists of seven episodes officially premiered on Netflix earlier this week on December 4.
