The baby is due this December, claims a source purportedly close to the actor who also revealed that Aryn's baby shower was held in Brooklyn on the 29th September.

Before he fell into acting, Williams worked as a school teacher in New York and met Aryn whilst she was working as a real estate broker. Williams then moved to on screen acting, taking his most note-worthy role as Dr. Jackson Avery on the ABC series in 2009 and having since been seen in Lee Daniels' The Butler, Greek, Beyond the Break and well as the upcoming They Die By Dawn.

Though Williams has only played Dr. Avery for four years, the hospital drama is in its 10th series and will soon celebrate its 200th episode. However, the celebration of the show's longevity and success with be someone tainted by the announced exit of Sandra Oh; the latest big name to have decided that enough's enough on the long-running show.

As for Williams: he may play a doctor on TV but we hope he'll leave it to a medical professional to deliver his baby!
