Troian Bellisario Welcomes First Child!!!!!

Troian Bellisario is no longer a Pretty Little Liar.

Instead, she’s a proud and excited new mother!

About two months after announcing she and husband Patrick J. Adams were expecting their first child, the former ABC Family star has made a rather huge announcement:

That child is here!

She has given birth!

For the first time in her life!

The new parent shared a unique picture (below) her baby, keeping nearly every detail about the newborn private, but relaying the following message to her fans and followers:

I cannot express how grateful I am.

To the people who have protected us and kept our growing family safe and respected our privacy. To our tribe for expanding with grace and exponential amounts of love.

To my @halfadams for being so supportive during every moment of my pregnancy and her birth. And to whatever incredible force of fate that brought this baby girl into our lives.

I couldn’t be more proud to be her mother.

To bring a new girl into this world and to do my best to raise her to be kind, strong and whatever the heck she wants to be.

Adams, who departed the USA Network series Suits at the end of Season 7 after his character married the character played by Meghan Markle, also did not divulge the name or gender of his kid.

But he managed to make us tear up with a message of his own.

Via Instagram, it reads:

The world just got 8lbs heavier. Thank you to everyone who fought for and protected our privacy during this incredible and beautiful time in our lives.

Everyone is happy and healthy and loving every moment of this. I could not be more excited to bring a baby girl into this world at this moment.

We will raise her to be powerful, to always speak her mind and heart and to live without fear.

It’s a brand new day and a brave new world and they are both beautiful.

Bellisario and Adams got married in December of 2016 after dating for three years.

While she and Adams may have quiet about their not-so-little secret, the actress’ close friend and former costar, Lucy Hale, couldn’t help but rave about the her pal’s pregnancy to Us Weekly in August:

“I think we’ve all known for a bit,” Hale said a few weeks back. “I’m really happy for her.”

Imagine how happy everyone is now that the precious bundle of joy is here!

We admire how Adams and Bellisario are choosing not to divulge very much about their son or daughter.

We’re not about to press for any further details now or ever; not if they would prefer not to share them.

We’d simply like to pass along our best wishes and to send our congratulations.

Treasure every milisecond with that tiny human being, you guys. The time flies by way too quickly.

Troian Bellisario and Patrick J. Adams: Expecting First Child!

A pretty celebrity has some non-little news to share with the world…

… and this is no lie:

Troian Bellisario is pregnant!

The Pretty Little Liars alum and her famously handsome husband, Suits actor Patrick J. Adams, are expecting their very first child together, E! News has confirmed.

Word of this nature started to spread in late May after the 32-year-old was seen on the beach in Mykonos, seemingly with a just-developing baby bump protruding out of her swimsuit.

Since then, Bellisario has kept a fairly low profile… and neither she nor Adams has actually confirmed that their family of two will soon become a family of three.

But multiple reliable outlets are now reporting this as fact.

Bellisario and Adams, meanwhile, were most recently seen out on public in London on May 19, showing support for a certain former Suits actress who was marrying a certain gorgeous prince.

Indeed, the two were prominent guests at Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Royal Wedding!

Adams and Bellisario met in 2009 while starring in a play; they got engaged in 2014. 

From there, the actor and the actress tied the knot in a beautiful wedding in Southern California in December 2016.

They took their honeymoon in Australia.

“What’s not to like about working with Patrick? He is talented, intelligent, funny, handsome, so that makes my job across from him easy to do, and he is my best friend so every day was a blast,” Bellisario told The New Potato in 2017.

For his part, Adams left the USA Network hit Suits after Season 7, the finale of which featured his character marrying and going elsewhere with Markle’s character.

He made headlines shortly afterward by addressing Prince Harry in a funny and sweet Tweet that read as follows:

Playing Meghan’s television partner for the better part of a decade uniquely qualifies me to say this:

Your Royal Highness, you are a lucky man and I know your long life together will be joyful, productive and hilarious. Meghan, so happy for you, friend. Much love.

At the time of his departure, Adams gushed a bit over Bellisario in explaining this professional decision, telling The Hollywood Reporter:

“After seven seasons – really, eight years of being away from home and away from my now-wife and there was that pressure.

“At the moment, I’m interested in taking a break.

“It’s nice to be home. It’s really nice to be with Troian, our dogs and to take the time to figure out exactly what shape I want to take my career after this.”

Adams now has time to ponder this, it’s true.

He’ll also soon have time to change diapers and help around the house with the baby.

Congrats to the very happy and attractive couple!

Troian Bellisario Opens Up About Mental Illness: It Was a Difficult Journey!

Troian Bellisario is one of the most influential actresses around, and she has not been shy about her experiences with mental illness. 

The 31-year-old Pretty Little Liars graduate opened up about her experiences to Lenny Letter. For those of you who don’t know what that is, it’s a newsletter run by Lena Dunham and Jennifer Konner. 

The actress opens by recalling a time in her life when she was swimming in a lake with a close friend. The lake was cold, and the star commented that she felt discomfort, yet could not remove herself from the water. 

It’s a worrying visual to imagine, but that was a sign that the actress was suffering from mental health. 

She opens up candidly about her body telling her to get out of the lake, but she did not want to show weakness in front of the friend. 

“Here I am, 31 years old,” the actress wrote.

“And I’m still denying my body the one thing it is asking me to do: take care of it.”

What we love about Troian is that she is an inspiration. She does not hide anything from fans and opens up whenever she’s given the opportunity. 

She moved on to chat about a difficult time filming Pretty Little Liars when she was faced with harsh Canadian weather. 

“I looked around: Lucy [Hale], Ashley [Benson] and Shay [Mitchell] all seemed cold but fine; they looked professional, powerful,” Bellisario wrote.

“Was I not cut out for this? I pushed that thought out of my mind. Suck it up, Bellisario, do your job.”

Bellisario then opened up about her experience writing, producing and starring in her film Feed. She wanted to create a project out of her struggles; one that would hopefully help other people.

She even goes as far as saying that the movie helped her differentiate herself from her mental illness,

“It was a difficult journey finding my way back to health,” the actress wrote.

“Through hard introspection, intense medical and mental care, a supportive family, friends and patient and loving partner, I survived, which is rare.”

The actress opened up last month to Interview Magazine about her struggles with an eating disorder. 

“I couldn’t get anyone — even the people who loved me the most, even my boyfriend or my mother or my father — to understand what that experience was truly like for me,” she said at the time. 

Troian has been keeping busy since her seven-year-stint on Pretty Little Liars came to a close, and has booked a role on Richard Linklater’s latest project, Where’d You Go, Bernadette.

Troian Bellisario: NO ONE Understood My Eating Disorder!

Troian Bellisario has a film coming out, so she’s making the usual rounds — which means that we all get to read interviews from this very intelligent actress.

She actually wrote Feed in addition to starring in it, probably because she’s amazing. Her costar is Tom Felton, either because he’s talented or because he’s every Millennial’s fantasy costar — you decide.

He’s kind of been everywhere lately, from the first season of Murder In The First to the latest season of The Flash. It sounds like his role in Feed is kind of a weird one, because it sounds like kind of a weird movie.

Not as weird as the 2005 film of the same name, which was about cannibalism and forced-feeding … though that kind of brings us to the upsetting subject brought up during Troian’s interview.

Troian’s spoken about her battle with an eating disorder in the past, but now she’s sharing something new about it.

“There was this emptiness in me that I wanted to, not fill, but engage,” she tells Interview of how her eating disorder fueled her early drive to act.

“I felt like there was a story in me that hadn’t been told, and it was a very personal story.”

Unfortunately, eating disorders are complex to experience and almost impossible to explain to people who have never had them.

“I couldn’t get anyone — even the people who loved me the most, even my boyfriend or my mother or my father — to understand what that experience was truly like for me.”

She must have felt so isolated by that — which, even after the fact, can be damaging.

“It was about my eating disorder, and I found that there were so many people who thought that it was about losing weight or being skinny.”

A lot of people, even in this day and age, think of eating disorders as just, like, extreme dieting. Eating disorders come in a variety of forms with their own pernicious quirks, but none of them are healthy and none of them are really about bikini season.

“I couldn’t quite get them to understand that it was about control on a very, very literal level.”

That struggle still informs her passion for storytelling, as an actress and as a writer. Sometimes you gotta take your experiences and use them as fuel.

Good for her for speaking out about it.

Don’t get us wrong — somebody’s eating disorder is nobody’s business but their own. But when you speak out about it, especially when you have a platform like Troian does, you can help change people’s lives.

Maybe someone reads her interview and seeks help for themselves. Or maybe just someone understands what a loved one went through.

Pretty Little Liars dealt with eating disorders as early as the first season, which is all that we watched, because that season alone was enough to take over our lives and literally haunt our dreams.

It was good but it was just … so much. Also, we binged it in a week.

But Ashley Benson’s character was, at one point during that season, blackmailed into wolfing down a set of cupcakes. Which might sound like the opposite of a problem, but her character had an eating disorder and it was a problem.

In real life, eating disorders can have devastating consequences.

People die. Some of them are teenagers, and some of them are young adults.

Some of them aren’t even teens yet — there are tweens and younger who battle with issues of control and self-image. This can be because of parental pressure or just a response to major life stresses.

It’s so not the same as skipping a meal every now and then because you’re busy or because you want to fit into a certain outfit.

Troian, of course, is doing so much better these days. Troian’s slender beauty may always be the case — body frames are determined more by genetics than anything else.

Eating disorders can be a special challenge for celebrities.

Special, if not necessarily worse. Celebrities can face more body-shaming than other people, because of course they do.

That means magazines, photographers, directors, and social media.

On the other hand, celebrities tend to have the resources to seek help. Not everybody does.

It’s always the worst on isolated young people who don’t even know where to turn or how to describe what they’re experiencing.

But look at her now — writing feature films and also starring in them, like a boss.

Feed sounds kind of weird from what we’ve read, and it might have some sort of twincesty vibe. But weird movies can be the best.

And it sounds super interesting.

Writers draw from their own experiences to tell stories, and that can manifest in ways that you wouldn’t expect.

You can bet that the unhealthy obsessions in Feed were in some way informed by Troian’s own experiences. Even if she never had a, like, psychic twin connection followed by a tragic death.

"Pretty Little Liars" Star Troian Bellisario Gets Married in the Woods (PHOTO GALLERY)

Troian Bellisario’s wedding day looked more like a day at summer camp, because she opted for a rustic, totally non-Hollywood, cool setting.  Spencer from “Pretty Little Liars” married Patrick Adams — from the TV show, “Suits” — on Rancho dos…

Troian Bellisario Bachelorette Party: See The Pics!

Troian Bellisario is a very successful actress, who is getting married to Patrick Adams. 

Bellisario stars on Freeform’s hit series, Pretty Little Liars and although we are still pretty cut up about the show coming to a close, we’re glad the actresses are moving on. 

If you watch Pretty Little Liars online, you’ll know storylines are being stretched to crazy places, so it’s great that the stars can move on to other roles that will better utilize their talents. 

Heck, we don’t even know if Bellisario’s Spencer Hastings will even return for the final 10 episodes. 

If you recall, she was shot by her tormentor on the midseason finale of the show. 

It would be crazy to not have her as part of the core cast anymore, but we do know Bellisario directed an episode recently. 

That could be what’s keeping her around the set and the rumor mill quiet. 

Bellisario’s squad looked on point as they vacationed in Europe.

They could easily give Taylor Swift’s squad a run for their money. 

Fans quickly noticed there was something off about some of the photos of the trip. 

Two of her Pretty Little Liars co-stars were nowhere to be found in the pictures. 

Ashley Benson and Shay Mitchell were on tap to help their pal celebrate, but Sasha Pieterse and Lucy Hale were not there. 

There is every possibility there was a conflict in their schedules that prevented them going on the excursion. 

Still, it is pretty odd. The cast members have seemed like a close family in the past, but maybe things aren’t as amicable nowadays. 

They’ve been working together for almost seven years, so there’s every possibility they’re getting tired of one another. 

The lack of two of her co-stars did not get Troian upset. 

It sure looks like she had a great time. Why wouldn’t she? She’s on vacation with her girls!

She even had a super cool “Bellisario Gets Booted” baseball tee.

What more could she want?

She and her squad used the occasion to eat some good food while in Europe. 

Ashley Benson took to Instagram to show her fans that her breakfast was better than theirs. 

She and Shay Mitchell also shared a huge bowl of pasta, which was probably better than anything her fans had eaten that day. 

Seriously, it’s huge. Whoever the heck took the picture probably had to stand 10 meters away from the table to get the whole bowl in frame. 

Later on their break, Mitchell took to Instagram to make a joke about Pretty Little Liars. 

“Last night felt like a dream but I’m sure Hanna, Spencer and Emily would of wished for an AD free world at the Trevi Fountain,” Mitchell captioned. 

It’s a great nod to the series that made them household names, but also a little unsettling that she’s calling their tormentor “AD.”

It will always be “A.”

Bachelorette parties can be very wild affairs, but Bellisario’s was rather relaxed. 

Just look at the picture below of her pals on a boat. 

If that isn’t squad goals, then what is?

Taylor Swift: SLAMMED as "Fake Feminist" By Troian Bellisario!

Sure, Trump vs. Hillary is the conflict on everyone’s mind these days, but let’s take a break from this historic election cycle to discuss another rivalry that few would’ve predicted a year ago:

The Taylor Swift vs. Kim Kardashian feud didn’t completely come out of nowhere.

After all, the beef between Taylor and Kim’s husband goes back to when Kanye stormed the stage at the 2009 VMAs.

Things heated up in recent weeks when ‘Ye dissed Taylor in his song “Famous.”

Kim got involved, posting what she claimed was proof that Taylor approved Kanye’s lyrics before the song was ever recorded.

Needless to say, the whole thing is a big mess.

Thankfully, we have Troian Bellisario to sort it out for us.

If you don’t watch Pretty Little Liars, you might think that Troian Bellisario is the new Dornish badass on Game of Thrones, but she’s actually an actress on the long-running Freeform series.

Troian attended the DNC this week, and for some reason, she was asked to pick a side in the Kimye-Taylor feud.

Surprisingly, she gave an insightful response to a profoundly dumb question:

“Oh god, I have such an aversion to the Kardashians because I literally don’t understand people’s obsession with them and I don’t want to accept them as our closest thing to a royal family, so I guess I would be Team Taylor Swift?” Troian said.

“However, I’m so appalled by what I consider to be her false feminism.”

Yep, she went there by questioning Taylor’s feminist credentials (as many have before her).

Then she doubled down, questioning Swift’s loyalty as a friend:

“It seems like [Taylor is] this person who’s like, ‘Sisterhood!’ and then she does nothing but tear down the women that were once her friends. So is it possible to just be, like… this is a two-party system that I don’t want to be a part of?

“Can I just say that? Can I say that I would choose the Green Party in this?”

Boom. Asked about celebrity feuds at a political convention, Bellisario pulled a mic-drop moment by bringing it back around to politics.

We look forward to a Jill Stein-like figure emerging in this feud.
