“Welcome to the parenting world!!! Sending our love to you all and recovery ease,” one fan gushed. “Yumi. You’re rad already. You hit the parent jackpot. Giddy up, kiddo,” another top comment read.
“The best parents!!” the comic’s A Million Little Things costar Lizzy Greene exclaimed. “Congratulations! A whole standup special ONE WEEK before giving birth? Next level legend behavior!” author Blair Imani added.
Before the big baby announcement, Esposito shared glimpses of the couple’s pregnancy journey. In August, the 44-year-old comic posted several photos highlighting her baby bump.
Posting body photos bc I didn’t know if I could carry & feel like myself,” she wrote alongside the post. “So far mostly do. Katy and I are super jazzed and really nervous. My abdomen looks really different in the morning and at night; apparently, that is part of it.”
Esposito was previously married to fellow stand-up comedian River Butcher from 2015 to 2018 and announced her marriage to Nishimoto in 2021.
An actor, activist, and comedian, Esposito is known for playing Greta Strobe in two seasons of A Million Little Things. The comic also headlined the Seeso comedy Take My Wife and appeared in shows like Comedy Bang! Bang!, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and Drag Her!.
