Desperate Housewives actress Madison De La Garza is pregnant with her first baby, and big sister Demi Lovato is chuffed.

The child star played the young daughter of Eva Longoria’s character Gabrielle Solis – Juanita Solis – in the popular comedy-drama, and now she’s old enough to have offspring herself!

The 22-year-old announced the happy news on Instagram by sharing some kind words for partner Ryan Mitchell, and revealing she is eight months pregnant.

‘Oh ryan, how I love you. thank you for making all of my dreams come true. ♥️ baby mitchell 10.24,’ she wrote.

Alongside the caption, Madison posted sweet photos where her growing bump was clear to see.

In the snaps, Madison and Ryan – who went public with their relationship earlier this year – looked joyous as they posed together. The mum-to-be also shared a family snap with singer Demi and mum Dianna De La Garza.

‘I love you and this baby so much already!!’ Aunty Demi, 32, commented underneath the gallery.

Dianna added: ‘Woohoooo I’m gonna be a REAL GRANDMA D NOW!!!! Love youuuuu!!❤️❤️❤️.’

One fan was in disbelief: ‘JUANITA AS A MAMA?!!!’ while another suggested she chooses Juanita as her daughter’s name.

Madison played Juanita in seasons five to eight of Desperate Housewives, between 2008 and 2012.

The actress went on to play a younger version of her half-sister Demi in an episode of Sonny with a Chance and also had a recurring role on Bad Teacher.

She has previously opened up about her time on Desperate Housewives, and the horrendous online abuse she suffered from.

Speaking to Elizabeth Vargas on the Heart of the Matter podcast, she said: ‘I would spend a crazy amount of time reading through these comments, and most of them were just atrocious.

‘They said things like they wanted me to die because of what I looked like.

‘It was just horrible, like, “ugly fat cow,” and “I hope you get cancer and die because you’re so fat”.

She added that the comments ‘affected my mental health’ and ‘ultimately played into’ developing an eating disorder at such a young age.

Speaking about working with Eva, 49, she said the actress ‘went out of her way to make me feel special’.

Desperate Housewives is available to stream on Disney+.
