Orange Is the New Black [1] may be entering its final season soon [2], but there's an even more exciting new journey on the horizon for one of the show's costars. Danielle Brooks, who plays Tasha "Taystee" Jefferson in the Netflix series, announced on July 2 that she's going to be a mom!

The actress revealed that she's expecting her first child in a sponsored Instagram post for Clearblue. "So elated to finally share this news with you all. I'm happily pregnant," she captioned a photo of herself holding a pregnancy test. Brooks also took to her Instagram Story to show off her growing baby bump and to reveal that she's currently five months along — which means her due date is likely sometime in early October [3].

Congratulations to the new mom-to-be!
