Justin Baldoni and his pregnant wife Emily looked the picture of excitement as they made their first high-profile appearance since announcing their baby news. Stepping out to a fundraiser in Hollywood, California, the parents-to-be radiated happiness as they struck a series of poses on the red carpet.

Emily, 30, had chosen to wear a loose-fitting tank top that showed the first signs of her growing baby bump. The glowing actress cuddled up to her husband as Justin, 31, affectionately placed a hand on her stomach.

Last week the actor created the sweetest video on YouTube to announce that he and Emily are expecting their first child.

Bringing together his co-stars in one room, Justin showed them the homemade video on a big screen. The dad-to-be had used a scene from the series – which is about a girl called Jane who accidentally falls pregnant – to announce his baby news.

The scene showed the main character attending an ultrasound scan, but then the clip changes to focus on Justin and his wife Emily's own scan.

The magic of the clip came from the couple's nearest and dearest, whose reactions were all caught on camera. "Mama, you're going to be a grandma," Justin says over Skype to his mother, who instantly breaks into a smile and wipes away tears of happiness.

"Wait did you get that off Google images or something?" joked another friend, referring to Justin and Emily's baby scan. "It's so wonderful but it's so weird," said another friend. "Emily's ten to me."

The last scene of the video showed Justin and Emily Baldoni finding out the sex of their baby

After minutes of emotional footage showing the couple's loved ones crying with happiness and shouting in delight, Justin and Emily take over the final scene. The pair are seen sitting on the floor opening a doctor's letter, which states the gender of the baby.

While they didn't reveal the sex out loud, Emily is filmed saying, "Wait, is that my sex or the baby's?" Thrilled with the outcome, she draws her hands to her mouth in surprise as Justin clutches on to the letter with delight.

Justin and Emily tied the knot in 2013, with the Happy Endings star again choosing to announce his engagement in a homemade video.
