The would-be parents could not contain their excitement and shared stunning photos to share the news, including Berry's gorgeous maternity shoot

Actor KJ Apa of 'Riverdale' fame recently announced that he and his girlfriend Clara Berry are expecting their first child. The New Zealand actor, who plays the role of Archie Andrews in 'Riverdale', has been dating the French model Clara Berry since December 2019 and confirmed their relationship in February 2020. The would-be parents could not contain their excitement and shared stunning photos to share the news. On Berry's maternity photoshoot, Apa commented "She's pregnant btw", followed by her reply - "We are."

However, little did the happy couple presume that they would be subjected to intense trolling by the social media users. In the most brutal words, trolls expressed their disapproval of KJ Apa as a father, alongside other harsher words for the elated parents-to-be. Some of the users referred to Apa's bizarre TikTok videos while ridiculing and mocking him.
