General Hospital fans may still be waiting to see Harrison Chase become a dad onscreen, but Josh Swickard is already celebrating baby news in real life.
The actor and model, who has played fan-favorite Chase on the ABC daytime drama since 2018, just announced that he and wife Lauren Swickard are expecting their third child, and the timing couldn’t be sweeter.
The couple shared the happy news in a joint Instagram post, where they wrote, “Exciting New Year’s update from the Swickard fam.” They added that the newest family member will arrive in “just a couple more months…” — officially making 2026 a very special year for them.
The Swickard Farm Is Growing
The announcement itself was pure Swickard charm. In a heartwarming video, Josh, a very pregnant Lauren, and their two children are seen riding a tractor across their farm while revealing the news with the caption, “The Swickard farm is GROWING.”
The video also features sweet moments of Lauren showing off her baby bump, dancing with joy, and flashing a positive pregnancy test. Of course, news like this quickly sent followers rushing to the comments with congratulations.
Josh and Lauren, who married on July 6, 2019, are already parents to Savannah, born April 2021, and Arthur, born February 2023. Baby number three will soon make them a family of five.
From Daytime Drama to Real-Life Joy
While Josh’s real-life story is full of excitement, things are far more complicated for his General Hospital character. Chase is currently in the thick of the drama on the ABC soap, having been suspended from the PCPD. Chase is also facing potential trouble in his marriage.
His refusal to step away from helping his ex-wife prove her innocence in the Drew Cain shooting has only added fuel to the fire, and we are all watching closely to see how it all plays out.
For now, Chase may not be entering fatherhood in Port Charles, but Josh Swickard is clearly thriving offscreen, balancing family life, farm living, and daytime TV fame.
Congratulations Are in Order
As fans continue to follow Chase’s rocky journey on General Hospital, there’s no denying that Josh Swickard is starting 2026 on a high note.
Soap Opera News sends heartfelt congratulations to Josh, Lauren, Savannah, Arthur, and the newest little Swickard on the way.
