Entourage Alum Jerry Ferrara and Wife Breanne Reveal They're Expecting a Son After Losing Baby

Jerry Ferrara‘s Entourage is growing by one!

The actor, known for his turn as Salvatore “Turtle” Assante on the HBO series, announced on social media Thursday that he and wife Breanne are set to welcome a baby boy.

“It’s been a long journey and we both cannot be more excited for parenthood. Growing up without a father means this is the most important job/thing I’ll ever do,” Ferrara, 39, captioned a snapshot of himself and Breanne on a basketball court, where the dad-to-be holds a ball in one hand and points at his wife’s baby bump with the other.

“I could NOT be ready for this without my beautiful pregnant wife,” he continued, joking, “I pray he gets your height, face, athleticism, charm, intelligence and most important. Your metabolism! 2019 here we come!” (Ferrara stands at 5 feet, 7 inches, and famously lost 40 lbs. a few years ago.)

Breanne shared her own post to reveal the happy news, explaining that the couple had experienced a pregnancy loss before learning they are expecting their son, who’s due in May.

“This past year has been filled with love, loss, grief, lots of patience and more love. And now learning to navigate pregnancy after loss (which at times can be terrifying),” she wrote. “Thank you to such an incredible support group of family and friends in our lives.”

“And to my husband … we have emerged closer and stronger. We continue to pray that our baby boy arrives safely in May,” continued the mom-to-be, 30, adding a number of hashtags including, “#rainbowbaby” and “#secondtrimester.”
