Charlie Ralph Faulborn Will Soon Become an Older Brother - More about Kelli Giddish's Son

Posted by Noelle Montes on Wednesday, May 8, 2024

Charlie Ralph Faulborn is months away from no longer being the youngest in the household, with his mom, actress Kelli Giddish, sharing the news of her third baby.

As with her first pregnancy, when Kelli Giddish expected Charlie Ralph Faulborn, it was written into the plot of "Law & Order: SVU," on which she played Amanda Rollins for 12 seasons.

Almost more photos of the actress and her cast mate Mariska Hargitay are on her grid than snaps with her children. She keeps her family life private, sporadically sharing moments, one of which showed her kids' musical leanings.

Charlie Ralph Faulborn's Arrival Was Announced in a Very Hollywood Fashion

Charlie was born to Kelli and Lawrence Faulborn in November 2018. His mother shared her pregnancy with him spectacularly ― she showed up at the season 20 celebration of "Law & Order: SVU" with a baby bump that September.

Kelli quietly split from her first husband.

She quipped to the press, "I'm feeling good, but ready to not be pregnant anymore!" In a since-deleted post, Lawrence announced their second son's arrival with a black and white photo of his tiny feet hashtagged, "The family just got two feet bigger."

Wearing a sleeveless orange and blue shirt, Charlie looked like an indie rock star in the making in a May 5, 2022, video his mother posted on Instagram, captioned, "short jam."

The four-year-old leads the family jam session on a harmonica while his big brother keeps the tempo with his drumsticks beside him. Off camera, someone, presumably Kelli, is strumming along on the guitar.

Around the 44-second mark, the blonde toddler seemingly ends the revelry. The actress does not post about her children often, instead uploading images alluding to them, such as one of her hand-washing a superhero costume in 2019.

Charlie Ralph Faulborn's Parents Are No Longer Together

Kelli quietly split from her first husband, Lawrence. They had been through a lot in their short marriage, with him falling ill when their firstborn was only six months old. In an October 2021 interview, she casually mentioned that she was recently divorced and was engaged again.

However, the former soap star had remarried a few months earlier already. In February 2022, she revealed on social media that she and Beau Richards had gotten hitched in New Orleans, Louisiana, on July 11, 2021.

"[Beau Richards] you are my light, and the most supreme step-father Ludo and Charlie could ask for," she wrote with a photo of them in the streets of New Orleans, with Kelli Giddish's eldest son smiling beside them.

At the beginning of June 2023, she publicized the gender of her third child, her first with Beau. "Can't wait to welcome our baby boy soon!" the TV star wrote with a photo of her kissing her husband's cheek. There is a photo of Mariska Hargitay cradling her belly on set in April.
