On Wednesday, Carter shared a photo of himself in hospital scrubs and a mask, looking upset, writing, “Yes I’m a believer. I ask god to give us strength to protect mommy and baby. ?? #fatherhood #prayers.”
Carter and Kitt are already parents to 5-year-old son Odin and 1-year-old daughter Saoirse.
The couple shared the news that they were expecting back in January by posting a video of the sonogram.
“Sometimes life blesses you with little surprises,” Carter wrote at the time, adding, “#2021 #babynumber3 #fatherhood #happyhome.”
