This is Morgan and Karnik’s first child together. The actress also shares a 3-year-old son, River, with her ex-husband Michael Kopech.
Back in November 2021, Morgan spoke to PEOPLE about the parenting advice she got from her former Riverdale costar Mark Consuelos and his wife, Kelly Ripa as she began her motherhood journey.
“I talked to Kelly [and Mark] after I gave birth [to River],” she said at the time. “They were just excited for me, and gave me beautiful, beautiful baby clothes for River.”

She said that Ripa, 53, also shared a helpful tip for healing after a C-section.
“She just told me, ‘Yeah, up to a year you might still feel pain,’ and all this stuff. So it was nice talking to somebody else who’s been through it. She has given me some good advice of healing in that way,” Morgan recalled.
