Jenna Ushkowitz is pregnant! Glee star expecting second child with husband David Stanley: ‘We’re so excited to expand our family!’

Jenna Ushkowitz is pregnant with her second child.

The Glee star, 38, who played Tina Cohen-Chang on the show from 2009-2015, announced the happy news Ppeople and said she was ‘excited to expand her family’ with husband David Stanley,

The couple, who married in 2021, already have a two-year-old daughter, Emma.

Jenna explains how she found out: ‘I was on vacation in New York at the time visiting my family.

‘And when I was packing, I had a Clearblue Early Digital pregnancy test in my cupboard and I thought I’d pack it just in case.

“So I packed up and the day before we left, I thought, ‘This feels really familiar, so I’m going to take this test.’ And I did.

‘And when pregnancy came up, my jaw dropped. I was shocked. And then overjoyed, of course.

Discussing her husband David’s reaction, she said: ‘He was upstairs and when he came down the stairs I still looked shocked and he said, ‘No way.’

“He just knew and he was so, so happy. We were so happy that our daughter was going to be a big sister and that our family was going to be expanding. It’s just really special.”

Ushkowitz and Stanley first met on a date after connecting on the dating app Hinge in 2018.

They eventually got engaged in August 2020 and married last July at the historic Lombardi House in the heart of Hollywood, for 104 people, their closest friends and family.

Ushkowitz is best known for playing the role of Tina Cohen-Chang on the Fox comedy-drama musical Glee, for its entire six seasons which began in 2009 and ran until 2015.

She also won two Tony Awards for her work as producer of the Broadway musical Once on This Island and received recognition for her performances in Broadway musicals such as The King And I and Waitress.
