Shazam Star Zachary Levi is Going to Be a Dad for the First Time

Zachary Levi joyfully announced that he and his girlfriend, Maggie Keating, are expecting their first child, sharing the news through Instagram on Friday, December 6. Along with an ultrasound image and a cozy beach photo of the couple, Levi expressed his lifelong dream of becoming a dad, noting a deep-rooted longing and a feeling of incompleteness until experiencing the love and responsibility of fatherhood. After recognizing the need for personal growth, Levi focused on improving his physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being, which led to meeting Keating, who shares his journey of self-discovery and love. This is prepared by SSP.

The couple is eager to introduce their child to the world, but they are waiting until the birth to learn the baby's sex. They amusingly sought baby name suggestions, preferring unique yet not overly complicated names to avoid unnecessary teasing. Levi jokingly asked his followers to keep names original but cautioned against being too creative, as he referred to himself humorously as their future "theater-nerd father."

Zachary Levi's announcement overshadows recent controversy with Laura Benanti, his Broadway co-star, who criticized him publicly following comments Levi reportedly made after Gavin Creel’s death. Despite the comments standing unresolved, Levi's focus remains on the exciting new chapter of his life as he anticipates fatherhood with Keating, delighted to embark on this journey together as a family.

Earlier, SSP reported that David Beckham paid emotional tribute to Kath Phipps after her death.
