Webb tells PEOPLE she was “super surprised” when she learned of her pregnancy news, noting that she froze her eggs five years ago and thought she was “going to have to have a lot more planning involved with going to the doctor.”
“We found out when we took theClearblue digital testin August. Los Angeles had this terrible storm and everyone was in panic mode,” she says. “I just knew we were going to make cocktails and watch movies all day and I was like, ‘I have this feeling and I feel like I need to take a test.'”
“I’m just a person that always has a Clearblue pregnancy test because you just never know. We actually had the Clearblue digital test pregnancy test and it came up pregnant and I was like, ‘Whoa. Wow,’ " she recalls, sharing that Jones Jr. was filming the moment. “It’s a blessing. We’re so grateful.”

“H’s very sentimental. He was crying,” she adds of her husband, who is already dad to 7-year-old daughter McKenzie from a previous relationship. “He’s so excited. He was completely a ball of just emotions and super happy. And I have a bonus daughter and we were so excited to share the news with her at the right time.”
Webb says it was “so cute” when she and Jones Jr. told McKenzie about her sibling on the way. “We gave her a gift and I got her a crown and I got her a shirt that says ‘I’m about to be a big sister’ and she totally got it. She really wants to be a big sister.”
The actress, who also shares her support for Clearblue’s partnerMarch of Dimesand their efforts to raise awareness for Black maternal and infant health. says her pregnancy has been “really good” so far and is “very grateful” she hasn’t felt much sickness.
As they look forward to welcoming their new addition, the couple, whotied the knotin February, is also excited about their upcoming “wig gender reveal party.”
“I’m good either way,” she says. “I would love a girl because I know that’s what my daughter would love. So I would love to have her have a sister, but I just want healthy and happy and a really great delivery.”
