Many others expressed their surprise in the comments, as Colin had only confirmed the news of the pregnancy on Tuesday during a comedy gig.

Someone in the audience told Page Six, the comedian said: "We're having a baby, it's exciting." Regardless of the punchline that came after, that was the first major confirmation of the news.
