by

As an ardent fan of Johnathan Bailey, it’s truly heartwarming to see his dreams unfold. His longing for fatherhood and his preparation for adoption is a testament to his compassionate and thoughtful nature. It’s not every day we witness such a humble star planning for parenthood with as much consideration as Bailey.

One day, Jonathan Bailey expresses his heartfelt desire to become a father! In an engaging conversation with British Vogue, the acclaimed actor known for his exceptional role in the recent musical Wicked, shared some exciting news. Bailey openly discussed his aspirations, revealing that he longs to bring children into his life and has already begun studying adoption literature as part of his preparation.

Yes, it’s such a privilege for a man,” he said of having a child but also clarified that he can’t bring children into his current lifestyle because of his busy schedule. The Bridgerton actor shared that he’s waiting for the right time to bring that lifestyle shift. “I want to make sure I’m going to be present. I’m reading books on adoption,” he added. 

Bailey hinted at his future co-parenting arrangements, suggesting it could involve a partner of either gender, although he seems to be leaning towards a male companion. This well-known actor gained prominence by portraying the charming eldest Bridgerton sibling in the popular Netflix period drama set in high society and has since secured roles in numerous high-profile projects.

During an interview with People magazine, Ariana Grande shared that she quickly bonded with her Wicked co-star due to their shared love for theater. “I think we were both like ‘theater kids’ on set,” she said. Bailey added, “Yes, relentless.” (Incessant means persistent or unending; relentless means unyielding or determined.)

She mentioned that they shared a lot of laughter together, which was quite unique about them. In her words, “We were the most giggly duo.” Interestingly, their constant laughter seemed to intensify their connection, adding a spark to their relationship, as she put it, “It gave our chemistry a bit of ‘fizz’.” She further explained that this friendship blossomed into something more meaningful in real life. In her words, “We fell for each other not just romantically, but as friends too. That was such a beautiful part of it all. We truly had a wonderful time together,” the Thank You, Next singer concluded.

In the musical prequel to The Wizard of Oz, Glee’s Lea Michele portrays Glinda, with Bailey playing her romantic interest, Prince Fiyero who is quite dreamy. Cynthia Erivo takes on the role of Elphaba, the central green-skinned witch. Other cast members include Ethan Slater, Michelle Yeoh, Peter Dinklage, Bowen Yang, and several others.

Wicked is now available in theaters.
