Meanwhile, actor Clint Brink and his wife Steffi took to Instagram last month to announce their bundle of joy is due in April 2023. Clint revealed the news came at the perfect time for his birthday celebration.

Steffi shared the same image on her timeline and said she was blessed to be sharing the experience with her life partner: “As we waited patiently for you, God answered our prayers and we’re about to become three (actually five with Rambo and Lilly). All I can say on your 42nd birthday @clintonthebrink — I am blessed to share this special gift with you. Happy birthday and I love you.”
