‘OITNB’ Star Laura Prepon, Fiancé Ben Foster Welcome Baby Girl
“Orange is the New Black” star Laura Prepon and her fiancé, Ben Foster, just welcomed their first child together!
According to Entertainment Tonight, the couple welcomed a healthy baby girl, but the actual birth date of the infant hasn’t been confirmed. Earlier this week, an eyewitness told the publication that Prepon and Foster dined together at Out East in New York City’s East Village on Wednesday, August 23.
“The couple arrived around 8:30 p.m. and requested a secluded table away from other guests. Prepon noshed on a shrimp cocktail and the poached salmon, while Foster dined on a dozen East Coast oysters and a skirt steak… They seemed happy and laid-back,” the source said.
Prepon, who plays the role of Alex Vause in “OITNB,” first showed off her baby bump in January, while at the Sundance Film Festival. In June, she sat down for an interview on “Live With Kelly and Ryan” and confirmed that she was just a month away from welcoming her child.
“I’m eight months pregnant, so yeah, next month I’ll give birth. It’s weird because it sneaks up on you, you’re like, ‘I can’t believe it’s been eight months already.’ But then you’re like, ‘Oh, my gosh, she needs to, like, come out already! But it’s so wonderful. It’s just like, a blessing. It’s like, she likes it here. She’s already kicking,” she said.
Last year, Prepon announced her engagement to Foster and told E! News that she’s looking forward to marrying the love of her life. “I’m happy. It’s amazing. He’s the love of my life. We want a really small wedding but we have a lot of people that we love and care about. It’s weird, but apparently doing the list for your wedding is a whole thing that could cause some issues,” she said.
Prepon also hinted at inviting the entire cast of “Orange is the New Black” to her and Foster’s special day. “Our cast alone is like 50 people,” she said.
Meanwhile, Prepon hasn’t confirmed the arrival of her daughter on her Instagram account. The actress’ last post was on July 2, and it was a photo of herself with her “The Hero” co-star Sam Elliott.
