Cott announced his engagement to Basara in 2020, also opting to announce the news via Instagram. The pair later married in 2021.
He previously shared a selfie of the two holding a pregnancy test back in April, captioned, "Mrs. Cott’s got a baby in her belly!!!"
The actor played Kevin on Riverdale from the show's premier episode in 2017.
Riverdale recently finished after seven seasons; the final outing for the gang saw Archie (KJ Apa), Jughead (Cole Sprouse) Veronica, Cheryl, Betty and Kevin all travel back in time to the 1950s.
The show – which started off as a simple high school whodunnit – incorporated various bizarre plotlines over its tenure, including a crossover with Sabrina The Teenage Witch and the teens becoming superheroes, witches, cults and even deadly meteors.
All seven season of Riverdale is available to stream via Netflix.
