Josh Peck and Paige O'Brien Expecting First Child

Get ready to shout, "Hug me, brotha!" because your favorite Premiere employee is going to be a dad! Josh Peck, 27, best known as Josh Nichols on Nickelodeon's hit comedy series Drake & Josh, announced on Thursday (August 23) that he and his wife, Paige O'Brien, 31, who wed in a lavish ceremony in Malibu last year, are expecting their first child by sharing an adorable picture of her growing baby bump. "Oh baby. Literally, there's a baby in there," the actor cheekily captioned the photo on Instagram.

And the daddy-to-be was so excited he shared it on his Twitter too. He joked, "Guys I did it! I'm finally down to my goal weight! Oh and we're pregnant."

Paige shared the pic on her own Instagram, also adding a precious close-up of her baby bump. "We’re havin’ a baby!" she gushed.

Since Drake & Josh wrapped, the former child star has become a social media star, including on Vine and on his own YouTube channel, which has amassed over 1.5 million followers. The actor has also launched his own podcast series, Curious With Josh Peck. For the most part, the actor showcases the shenanigans he and his friends get into, but every once in a while the star reunites with his co-stars from his Nickelodeon days.

Just recently, he and Yvette Nicole Brown, who played Helen on Drake and Josh, got together to record an episode for his podcast, which took fans back to the good ole' days.

Update (8/23): Following Josh's announcement, his former Nickelodeon co-star Drake Bell has also shared his congratulations for the happy couple on Twitter and Instagram!:
