Riverdale star KJ Apa caresses girlfriend Clara Berry’s baby bump at a friend’s birthday party

They shared the happy news last month that they were expecting their first child together.

And KJ Apa looked as if he couldn’t wait to be a father as he affectionately placed a hand on his girlfriend Clara Berry’s burgeoning tummy while out in West Hollywood late on Saturday night.

The 24-year-old Riverdale star and his 27-year-old love were spotted out on their way to the popular sports bar 40 Love to celebrate their friend Carter Gregory’s birthday.

Loved up: KJ Apa, 24,  sweetly caressed his pregnant girlfriend Clara Berry’s growing baby bump on Saturday night while stopping by a friend’s birthday party in West Hollywood

KJ eschewed the muted colors his character Archie Andrews usually wears on Riverdale in favor of a vibrant look that light up the night.

He wore a pale yellow–and–white striped shirt along with baggy emerald green corduroy pants with unusual cargo pockets. 

He stayed on theme with yellow sneakers and wore a ‘Wellness’ baseball cap while carrying a slim leopard print handbag under his arm which presumably belonged to Clara.

She looked muted but classy in a slate gray button-up dress that was ruched around her bust and midriff.

Study in contrasts: He wore bright colors with a yellow-and-white striped shirt, green corduroy pants and yellow sneakers, while she wore a gray button-up dress and black sandals

The French model’s voluminous brown tresses fluttered in the night breeze, and she elevated her stature slightly with black platform slide sandals.

As the lovebirds arrived outside 40 Love, KJ placed a hand over her midriff and beamed proudly.

She also rested a hand on her growing tummy.

The two didn’t bother to caption the images and simply let the photos do the talking.

In an April interview with Australian Men’s Health, the CW star was already excited about the prospect of starting a family. 

‘I’ve never been so sure of anything in my life, other than the fact that I want to be a father,’ he told the magazine. ‘It’s a lonely place, this industry. Human interactions are no longer the same for me. I’m searching. I’m searching for genuine relationships with people who genuinely care about me and who I care about, not because of who I am or who they are.’ 

‘I don’t want to be lonely for the rest of my life,’ he added. ‘I’m looking around me at people doing what I’m doing, putting everything into their careers and into fame and into themselves.

‘I’m guilty of the same thing but I look around and I’m like, “Wait, what’s the point of all this if you can’t share it with anyone other than yourself and your friends?” It becomes meaningless. I’d be willing to drop acting and all of this if I had a beautiful family. If I had to do it, I would do it.’

Ready to go: 'I've never been so sure of anything in my life, other than the fact that I want to be a father,' KJ told Australian Men's Health in April
