The pictures showed a glowing Ashley, cradling her bump while gazing lovingly at Christopher.

I still need to wallpaper the room, get everything organised, so don’t come yet!”

Many South African fans, who grew up watching High School Musical, shared their well-wishes in the comments.
“Congratulations, Ashley! We’re so happy for you!” wrote one fan. Another added, “Sending love from South Africa. Your family is beautiful!”
A GROWING FAMILY
Ashley and Christopher, who tied the knot in September 2014, have been open about their journey to parenthood, according to The News.
Their first child, Jupiter, was born in March 2021, and since then, the couple has often shared glimpses of their family life on social media.
With the arrival of Emerson, the French family is now a party of four, and it seems they couldn’t be happier.
