‘Supernatural’ Star Jared Padalecki Shares Exciting Baby News On ‘Live With Kelly’ [Video]
During the summer, it was Jensen Ackles’ turn to announce the Supernatural baby news. Now it’s co-star Jared Padalecki’s turn. He took to Live with Kelly to make the exciting announcement that the SPN Family is growing. He and his wife Genevieve Cortese Padalecki are expecting baby number three.
Fans may have been expecting this news for some time. During some of the Supernatural conventions after Ackles’ twins announcement, Ackles joked that his co-star went straight home to say that the Ackles hadn’t just caught up with the family size, but actually taken over. They needed to catch up right away.
Padalecki had also told Supernatural fans to clear their schedules on Monday, November 7. He was going on Live with Kelly to share some very exciting news. While some believed that it was to do with the TV show, it turns out that it was much more personal than that—and nothing to do with his campaigns for raising money to help support mental health awareness.
Clear your schedules on Monday, Nov. 7th, I'm going on @LiveKelly !! And I have somethin SUPER cool to share with yall ? #SPNFamily #akf

The interview started with a talk about Padalecki’s hair, which is a running joke on the show. In fact, there’s been a recent mention of his hair in Episode 3, when Mary Winchester talks about chopping her long locks off to avoid giving demons something to pull at. After that, the talk moved onto Padalecki’s personal life, as both he and Kelly Ripa met their significant others on set. Padalecki had the chance to share how he and Genevieve got talking and started dating—and it was all over books.
Padalecki also went into how he and his wife live not just in different cities but in different countries while he works. Supernatural is filmed in Vancouver, Canada, but Genevieve and their two sons live in Austin, Texas, USA. Since the eldest is now at school age, they have to remain there until before when they could travel more freely.

It wasn’t until four minutes into the interview (and after a commercial break) that Padalecki shared the news about the newest arrival to the family. He was discussing Supernatural and how it started with just two brothers and had grown from there. As he shared how it started when he was 22, he went on to say that he is now a father of two and soon to be father of three.
That’s right! Padalecki and his wife are expecting baby number three, and this little one is due in March 2017. If born at the right time, it will share a birth month with eldest brother Thomas Colton, who was born March 19, 2012. The baby will join Thomas and elder brother Austin Shepherd Padalecki (nicknamed Shep), who was born December 22, 2013, as the Guardian Liberty Voice reported.

The fans in the Live with Kelly audience couldn’t help but applaud and scream at the news, excited at the new arrival. Genevieve was even at the side of the stage, and it was possible to see the small baby bump under her polo neck sweatshirt.
The newest arrival will join Ackles’ twins as the latest Supernatural babies. During the summer, Ackles announced that he and his wife were having babies two and three, and they would be a boy and a girl. Padalecki hasn’t shared the gender of his newest baby, but many of the SPN Family are hoping for a girl, even if to just start evening up the numbers for Genevieve.
Supernatural fans quickly took to social media to spread the wonderful news. Facebook groups and Twitter were both alight with fans checking sources online to find out more. It took a few extra minutes for the media to catch up. But Supernatural‘s Padalecki is definitely expecting baby number three with his wife in March 2017.
