Actor Zachary Levi, famed for his role in Shazam!, announced that he and his girlfriend, Maggie Keating, are expecting their first child. Levi shared the joyful news on Instagram with an emotional post featuring an ultrasound image and a candid beach photo of the couple. In his message, the 44-year-old actor expressed that fatherhood has been a lifelong dream and a pivotal goal, reflecting on the deep sense of fulfillment he anticipates as a parent.
Levi revealed that he began making significant life changes last November, prioritizing his physical, mental, and emotional health to prepare for this milestone. He credited Keating, whom he described as a “brilliant, honest, and grounded” partner, for joining him on a shared journey of self-discovery and growth. The couple expressed excitement about welcoming their child, adding they have chosen to wait until the birth to learn the baby’s gender while playfully inviting name suggestions from fans.
The announcement arrives during a period of public scrutiny for Levi. His former Broadway co-star Laura Benanti recently criticized him for remarks about Gavin Creel’s death, suggesting Levi exploited the tragedy to further his personal views. Levi has yet to respond to these allegations, but the focus of his recent post remained on the joy and hope surrounding his journey to fatherhood.
