“Days of our Lives” star Carson Boatman (Johnny DiMera) will soon become a first-time father! The actor recently announced that he and his wife, Julana Dizon, are expecting their first child in December.
“Boatman, party of 3!” boasted the happy couple in a dually shared Instagram post that included shots of the sonogram photos, Carson wearing a hat that said “Boat Baby,” again referencing the family name, and the duo leaning in for a kiss as they kept close eye contact.
“Congratulations to you beautiful people! Now, be prepared to never sleep again! 😂 🤷🏻♀️😘 But seriously, very exciting….,” commented Boatman’s “Days of our Lives” co-star Nadia Bjorlin (Chloe). Other co-stars responded, too, including Stacy Haiduk (Kristen), Raven Bowens (Chanel), Tina Huang (Melinda), Eric Martsolf (Brady), Linsey Godfrey (Sarah), Tamara Braun (Ava), Lucas Adams (Tripp), Greg Rikaart (Leo), Dan Feuerriegel (EJ), Victoria Grace (Wendy), Sal Stowers (Lani), Aketra Sevillian (Talia), Martha Madison (Belle), Blake Berris (ex-Nick), Alison Sweeney (ex-Sami), Zach Tinker (Sonny) and Melissa Reeves (ex-Jennifer), along with the show’s head writer Ron Carlivati, among others.
“Coming December 2023 ?? But you already came ???” joked Feuerriegel, who plays Boatman’s on-screen father, EJ DiMera, with a tongue-in-cheek comment that has since garnered more than two dozen replies.
With a much more tame response, Adams stated, “Ahhhhh!!! Y’all are gonna be such amazing parents!!!! Congratulations y’all!!!” Both Carson and Julana responded to Adams, with Carson saying, “thanks man! Cant wait to see uncle Lucas and Shelby in action!” Boatman was referring to Adams’ real-life wife, Shelby Wulfert. Meanwhile, Julana said, “thank you 🥹 Excited to add a new little member to the crew!!”
While the pair didn’t share the sex of the baby just yet, one can’t help but wonder that their decision to wear mostly blue attire in the photos could indicate that they are expecting a boy or it’s just a coincidence. Either way, congratulations to the happy couple!
Carson and Julana were married in July 2021 and recently celebrated their second wedding anniversary. In a post noting the two year mark, Carson said, “Free piggy backs for life. Love you more than words can convey. Happy second anniversary.” The post included a music mix featuring the song “Forever and Ever, Amen” by both Randy Travis and Brent Morgan.
