Wanting to absorb the news, Erskine waited until Friday to share the news on his Instagram page, posting a series of photos taken during a hang-out session between the two longtime friends.
They turned on their sides, facing each other, while displaying their baby belly in an image with the caption: ‘Two potatoes’.
That day, the two wore almost the same casual, comfortable set of black leggings and a tight black blouse; only Erskine covered himself with a gray T-shirt and a baseball cap.
With the COVID-19 pandemic still on the rise, the two women wore protective masks over their mouth and nose during the meeting, except for a brief moment when they removed the covers to take a photo.
‘Holding his breath for’ someone without the masks ‘, wrote Erskine before adding:’ It was difficult. ‘
