The extremely bashert couple “Brooklyn 99” star Chelsea Peretti and “Get Out” creator Jordan Peele have welcomed their first child. The bravely-named Beaumont Gino Peele was born July 1st, but the couple, who eloped last year with only a dog for a witness, announced the birth today. With a comedy pedigree that includes half of the comedy-duo “Key and Peele” and a Jewish mother who has been involved with more or less every funny TV show in the last decade, Beaumont Gino will no doubt be a gift to this world. In fact, the Peele-Peretti baby started getting laughs while he was still in utero.

Behold: Chelsea Peretti used Twitter to elevate pregnancy problems into art. Mothers really are magic.

Luckily, her fans were supportive:

But people were still not afraid to ask questions: Just how long did she plan to stay pregnant for?

And finally, was she actually pregnant?

Welcome, baby Beau, mazal tov, Chelsea and Jordan, and thank god for mothers who are also comedians.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.

Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.

At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.

This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism you rely on. Make a gift today!
