We love this 官网下载beplay体育ios版pregnancy announcementso much,and it's going to be such a great story for this soon-to-be mom to tell her kid.Plus,seeing as she recently (and relatably!) expressed herannoyanceat Jewish journalists who ask her when she's having babies,we're so glad she got to announce her 官网下载beplay体育ios版pregnancy in this awesome way.
Bloom and Gregor have been adorably together for about a decade.The couple was friends before they got together,and Bloom once told theJewish Journalthat she got to know Gregor by going to his family's Passover seders (honestly,you learn so much about a person by going to their family's seder!)
The couple has collaborated on many projects,including Gregor's feature movie,Most Likely to Murder,and thisabortedmusic video in a Judaica store.(Trust us and watch it!)
Gregor andBloomgot married in 2015 in a ceremony performed by Bloom's cousin,a rabbi at Texas A&M University.WhileBloomdidn't have a bat mitzvah and isn't religious,she does love the Jewish holidays and Jewish culture,which is a big part of her life andwork.The songstress intends to share that love with her progeny: "I like the idea of exposing my kids to the culture and traditions.It's separate from spirituality for me," she told theJewish Journal.
And she got plenty of parenting prep while working onCrazy Ex-Girlfriend —from having an incrediblymom-friendlywork environment (the crew even turned one of the writer's rooms into a nursery!) to exploring the sometimes toxic Jewish mothertropeto introducing the world to one of the most hilarious and painfully accuratesongsabout childbirth ever (sample lyric: "Tear,tear,tear goes your vagina").
We're honestly kvelling about this news!B'sha'ah tovah!
