One cast member from “Orange is the New Black” is pregnant in real life.

On Tuesday, Danielle Brooks shared the happy news to her followers on Instagram. She said that she’s expecting her first child, and she also shared a photo of her digital pregnancy test.

Brooks’ ecstatic face is also featured in her post. She is grinning from ear to ear while holding on to her digital pregnancy test result that reads pregnant. Brooks has also partnered with the pregnancy test brand Clear Blue.

The 29-year-old actress plays the role of Taystee in the hit Netflix series “Orange is the New Black.” The series is scheduled to premiere its seventh and final season on Netflix this month.

On Brooks’ Instagram Story, she also uploaded the same photo and wrote, “When one chapter ends, another begins.” The caption is also a reference to the fact that “Orange is the New Black” is down to its final season.

In another post, Brooks revealed that she’s already five months pregnant, which means that she will give birth sometime in November.

The actress is quite private when it comes to her love life. But on Valentine’s Day, she shared a photo of her boyfriend on social media. In the snap, the couple is waiting to take a few friendly laps around a go-kart together.

Meanwhile, fans are looking forward to knowing what will happen to Taystee in “Orange is the New Black” Season 7. During her interview with Elite Daily, the actress said that the entire season will be all about survival for her character.

“I know that sounds generic to say but I think they are now fish swimming in a new pond and they’re trying to figure out how to survive the new circumstances that they’ve been given, especially for Taystee…. Now that she’s been convicted of a crime that she didn’t commit… So for her, she’s trying to figure out, ‘Is life worth living?’” she said.
