Weekend Update: Chevy Chase is going to be a grandfather!
The comedian, 80, announced Saturday that his youngest daughter, Emily Chase, is pregnant with her first child.
“I can’t wait to be a Grandad!” he wrote in an Instagram post along with a photo of him and the mom-to-be cradling her baby bump beside her partner, Alex Baglieri.
“Congrats to my daughter @em_chases and @alex.baglieri,” he added with a red heart emoji.
Emily, 35, also took to social media to celebrate her expanding family by posting some headlines about the news.
Additionally, she shared a hilarious photo of herself pressing her pregnant stomach against her father’s gut with the caption, “Touching pregnant bellies.”
Several friends and fans flooded social media to congratulate Chevy on his family’s upcoming addition.
“Your Grandad Era is going to be wonderful. Lucky little baby,” one person commented on his post.
“Congratulations to your daughter and family Pop-Pop,” a second supporter wrote.
“Wonderful congratulations! Clark if a boy, Ellen if a girl?” a third jokingly asked, referring to Chevy and Beverly D’Angelo’s respective roles as Clark and Ellen Griswold in National Lampoon’s “Vacation” franchise.
