The couple, who tied the knot in a private Disney's Fairy Tale Wedding ceremony in 2020, first announced their exciting pregnancy news in December.

The Dear Evan Hansen actor revealed they were expecting with a sweet video in which his wife surprises him with a positive pregnancy test.

"And the journey begins…can't wait to meet you 💙," Fisher captioned the post.

In March, the singer, dancer and musician chatted with PEOPLE about his excitement for his baby on the way, sharing that he and Ellie were "amped" for their new addition.

"We're beyond excited about it. We've dreamt for years of what it's going to be like," said Fisher. "We laugh all the time and we're like, 'Man, having kids is going to be fun' because it's going to just be an addition. We're just going to have more people join our little party."

"I am finding every excuse to hang out in there and trying to build new things and reorganize clothes," he shared at the time. "And we're both in nesting mode right now in preparation."

The actor and his wife, who are both from Birmingham, Alabama, met when Fisher was 13 years old. They "were best friends growing up," he previously told PEOPLE, and after their relationship turned romantic as adults, he knew "pretty much two months into dating" that she was "the one."
