The former Degrassi: The Next Generation actress just announced she is pregnant and expecting her second baby on Instagram in a heartwarming post.

The Canadian actress posed for the camera in a cozy look with a hand placed on her round belly and a sweet smile with the caption, "New Year, New Look, New Baby 👶🏼🥰🙊 Coming Spring '23!!! #hunintheoven."

Collins hails from Thornhill, Ontario, and played Paige Michalchuk on Degrassi: The Next Generation from 2001 to 2009.

Former Degrassi The Next Generation stars Annie Clark and Andrea Lewis both congratulated their former co-star.

"Yayyy! Congrats to the whole fam! 💕," commented Clark, while Lewis kept it short and sweet, writing, "Congrats 🎊🎈."

The pair worked together for years on Life With Derek, where Collins appears in 10 episodes from 2006 to 2009, according to IMDb.

Canadian actresses Sarah Gadon, Sydney Meyer, Amanda Brugel, and Megan Park also shared kind words for the expectant mom in the comments.
