Grace debuted her baby bump — revealing that she and Trai are going to be first-time parents — in October 2022. They made the sweet announcement on the red carpet at the opening night of "The Piano Lesson" on Broadway, in which the actor starred as Avery.
"Happy Opening Night on your Broadway Debut, my beloved King!! 🖤👑🎭😍🌟," Grace captioned a series of Instagram photos. "Words absolutely fail when it comes to describing how deeply and overwhelmingly proud we are of you, @traibyers. What a night!✨"
Weeks after sharing the exciting news, Grace shared a sentimental message on Instagram about becoming a mom and the lessons she had already learned along the journey to motherhood.
"Although becoming a mother requires great strength, I'm taken aback by the invitations of softness and delicacy that coax me as I take strides in this new season," she wrote. "The permission for rest and ease - even when things can feel overwhelming - still throws me sometimes."
"Most of all, I'm deeply grateful for all the ways in which love and tender support abound. The constant care-offerings and genuine investments are more than I would have accepted, simply because I'm always determined to do everything on my own," Grace added. "To be easy. To be soft. To allow others - without request - to lift the weight, take the initiative, ask the questions, do the pouring and cover the things that I may need (or not even know that I needed) is something I'm still not used to and continue to get emotional over."
Grace concluded her message, sharing: "At the moment, I'm sitting with the permission to lean. To tranquilize. To lull in the spaces that have made room. And this, somehow, awakens a different type of strength. Learning so much in this sacred time. Grateful for each soul helping to carry me. Love-dazed by this life growing inside of me. In awe of this new-found fortitude."
