Pia and Patrick Whitesell reveal exciting baby news in handwritten note

Pia Whitesell made fans do a double-take on Monday when she shared a photo on Instagram of a vase of flowers with a note alluding to baby news.

The Chilean-Australian actress, 37, and her Hollywood power-broker husband Patrick Whitesell, 56, had sent the flowers as a gift to their talent agent friend Lara Tocchini.

While some fans no doubt jumped to the conclusion the Whitesells were expecting a child of their own, the note made it clear they were simply congratulating Lara.
