Jason Thompson to be a dad!

Jason Thompson to be a dad!

Some of the biggest soap news this month has been that General Hospital star Jason Thompson is walking away from his 10-year run as Patrick Drake. But the biggest news in the actor's life? He's about to become a first time dad!

It looks like General Hospital's Jason Thompson is about to become a proud papa. He and his wife, Paloma, are expecting their first child.

The exciting news came via a Periscope session (which has since been taken down) in which the actor revealed his new wife is pregnant. Thompson's co-stars joked around with the happy couple, reminding the pair that they'd better get sleep now, because it will soon be a thing of the past.

Thompson and Paloma previously announced they'd married in San Pancho, Mexico, this past April. They'll likely be taking on their new roles as mom and dad this spring, when their baby is reportedly due.
