PEN15 stars Anna Konkle and Maya Erskine are pregnant at the same time: ‘BFFs making some future bffs’

They co-created, co-executive produce and star as fictional versions of their 13-year-old selves in the Hulu series PEN15.

And now BFFs Maya Erskine and Anna Konkle are playing the roles of soon-to-be, first-time moms, simultaneously, following Konkle’s announcement that she’s pregnant and ready to give birth soon.

‘It only took me nine months to post but the family is expanding any second now,’ Konkle, 33, captioned a series of photos she shared on Instagram on Thursday, January 28.

Konkle shared the news by posted several photos, beginning with an adorable selfie of herself and partner Alex Anfanger flashing big beaming smiles while out in a winter wonderland of snow. 

There’s another image that showed the family’s pet pooch resting its head near her burgeoning baby bump. 

The actress, who starred in the police Fox drama Rosewood for two seasons (2015-2017), also cradled her baby bump in a third photo where she snuggled up with Anfanger and their four-legged family member.

Wanting to let the news sink in, Erskine waited until Friday to share the news on her Instagram page by posting a series of photos taken during a hang-out session between the two longtime friends.

They turned to their sides, facing each other, while showcasing their baby bump in one image with the caption: ‘Two little potatoes.’

On this day they both wore nearly the same casual and comfortable ensemble of black leggings and a fitted black top; only Erskine covered up with a grey t-shirt and a baseball cap.

With the COVID-19 pandemic still raging, both ladies wore protective masks over their mouths and noses during the get-together, with the exception of a brief moment where they took their coverings off for a photo.

‘Holding our breath for “one without the masks,’ Erskine wrote before adding, ‘It was hard.’

Erskine, who starred in the FXX romantic comedy series Man Seeking Woman (2015) and the HBO comedy drama series Insecure (2016-2017), confirmed she was pregnant and engaged to her partner, actor Michael Angarano, in early November.

‘When 2 becomes 3,’ the actress captioned a photo of the couple.

The first seven episodes of the second season of PEN15 premiered in September 2020. So far there’s no official word on when the remaining seven episodes will drop.
