Emily Chase, who hasn’t revealed the pregnancy news yet, did upload a picture of herself, her sisters, and her parents grinning heartily on Instagram, only last week.
In an interview with Bedford & New Canaan Magazine prior this month, Chevy, his wife, and all three of their girls discussed parenthood and the value of family.
“We were married in 1982 at our house in Pacific Palisades,” Jayni told the magazine as the pair shared photos of their Bedford, Conn., home. She added, “Chevy was absolutely smitten with each of our daughters, and he’s been a super loving and devoted father.”
“Chevy and I have had an amazing 44 years,” she continued, further adding, “We’ve had lots of extraordinary friends and we’ve met a lot of high-profile people, but it’s our three fabulous daughters that matter most to us. And, hopefully, we’ve had a positive impact on the community and the world around us.”
“My dad is the funniest and most generous and loving person I know,” Emily told the magazine. “He has a huge heart and everything he does is for us, his daughters, and our mom — who he has been completely infatuated with since 1980. We truly couldn’t ask for a better dad,” she added.
Therefore, the Foul Play actor is excited to become a grandfather with anticipation, while the couple Alex and Emily are expecting their first child. Fans rejoice over the iconic comedian’s growing family.
