Claudia Oshry is pregnant with her first child.
'I’M HAVIN’ HIS BAAABY!,' the Girl With No Job star, 30, wrote on Instagram on Sunday. That was seemingly in reference to the Taylor Swift song But Daddy I Love Him.
The influencer, who went off Ozempic after losing 70 pounds, revealed the pregnancy in a joint posting with her husband Ben Soffer, 32, who goes by Boy With No Job on social media.
An instrumental version of Swift's Never Grow up was played beneath the video, which included the excitement of seeing the positive pregnancy test and a huge hug shared by the newly expectant parents.
Oshry is also seen getting an ultrasound and wiping a tear from her eye and then smiling for the camera.
The couple, who have been married since 2017, are expecting their little one to arrive in the spring of 2025.
Claudia Oshry, 30, and her husband, Ben Soffer, 32, made a joint announcement on social media Sunday November 17, revealing they were expecting their first child. 'I’M HAVIN’ HIS BAAABY!' The Toast podcast host wrote
Congratulations have poured in for the expectant parents.
'Yessss! More oshry-Soffer’s!!!' wrote Josh and Drake star Josh Peck.
Social media star and new mom Campbell 'Pookie' Puckett expressed her glee 'So happy. love you guys.'
On her Monday show, The Toast podcast host said she was still getting used to the idea of being in the family way in a video on her subscription site, revealing 'It’s so crazy to, like, want to be something so badly, like, cry about it for months and then you get to be that something, and, like, seriously I don’t know how to react.'
Oshry, who reported being hungry all the time after going off Ozempic, said she was reconciling herself to gaining weight during her pregnancy.
'I’m going to end up the weight that I was when I started Ozempic,' she told her fans.
'I already have such a f***ed up self-image with, like, Ozempic and the weight loss,' she explained.
The comedienne revealed she had been craving 'bagels all the time,' but was also 'eating everything in sight.'

Oshry did not go into detail about how long she had been trying to get pregnant, but her weight loss may have helped the process.
Being overweight can cause hormonal imbalances that interfere with or interrupt ovulation, and weight loss can reverse those imbalances.
'Women who lose weight with Ozempic who were not previously ovulating may start to ovulate and if not using effective contraception, may get pregnant while on Ozempic,' Dr. Karen Wheeler, a reproductive endocrinologist told The Bump.
Because the drugs containing semaglutide slow down digestion, some doctors theorize they could also interfere with how birth control pills are absorbed and processed.
After dropping a considerable amount of weight, Oshry revealed in August 2023 she was 'obviously' taking medication.
'You thought they were going to make a weight loss drug and I wasn’t going to take it?' she told her The Toast audience. 'You’re dumb. Of course, I’m f***ing taking it.'
The Lean In comic admitted she was embarrassed to admit she was using the medication originally used to regulate diabetes, which has also proved useful in losing weight.
After demonstrating a significant weight loss, Oshry admitted she had been using Ozempic in August 2023. She explained on her The Toast podcast on Monday, November 18, she went off the drug when she began trying to conceive

'Other people can do it without, why can’t I? In the beginning, my decision to not share was rooted a little bit in shame,' she explained, adding, 'I’m not suggesting anyone do this. I’m not suggesting anyone do anything.'
Oshry quit using Ozempic when she began trying to conceive. Doctors do not recommend women who are pregnant or trying to be, use the drug.
'One day, I will have children. I will not be able to do this,' she said on The Toast earlier this year.
'It’s what’s working for me now. That’s the only reason I’ve been, kind of, hesitant to talk about it because I don’t want to be like, "I've figured it out. I've solved the problem for life." I have not.'
