Cott and his wife tied the knot in 2021.

When they discovered their newest addition, the pair wasted no time in thinking about names. “We have one picked, but we’d like to wait to share — you never know if when we see the little guy, we’ll have a change of heart,” they told PEOPLE at the time.

“By far, one of the most incredible parts oftheRiverdaleprocesshas been spending time together for seven full years. Celebrating major life milestones with everyone is something we will cherish forever,” Cott said. “From our wedding to our first child, the cast has been there along the way to celebrate with us!”

At the time, the pregnancy had been “good so far” for Basara, a personal trainer. “I typically keep my diet quite regimented,butIhave been cravingthe occasional pizza, ice cream and anything that has to do with noodles! All I want to eat these days are carbs!”

Basara continued, “Also, my new bedtime is 9:00 p.m. with zero exceptions, much to Casey’s dismay! But all in all, I’ve been so lucky to be feeling pretty great.”

“As one major milestone in our lives —Riverdale, along with our time in Vancouver — comes to an end, this beautiful new chapter is about to begin,” he said. “We are just so excited to be parents and to make this child’s life as amazing as humanly possible!”
