From over the hills and far away comes news you might want to sit down for.
The actress who played the Sun Baby on the Teletubbies—who you will remember was, in fact, a baby at the time—is pregnant. That’s right, Jess Smith is expecting her first child with partner Ricky Latham.
Now in her late 20s, Jess shared the news on her social media, captioning the Oct. 11 post featuring her ultrasound image, “When two becomes three.”
And naturally, her comments were filled with congratulatory messages from fans feeling the nostalgia. “The Teletubbies sun baby is having her own sun baby,” wrote one user, while summed up everyone’s feeling with, “Sun baby having a baby…damn I’m old af….congratulations mate.”
Though Jess kept her identity as an infant TV star private for much of her life, she eventually shared the news in her late teens after years of seeing others claiming to be the beloved Sun Baby. In a 2014 Facebook message thanking her university friends for encouraging her to come forward, the then-19-year-old revealed how she landed the role as an infant.
