Chevy Chase is going to be a grandfather. The 80-year-old actor and comedian took to Instagram to share that his daughter Emily, 36, is expecting her first baby with her partner, Alex Baglieri. Chevy wrote on Instagram: "I can't wait to be a Grandad! Congrats to my daughter @em_chases and @alex.baglieri ❤️." Emily commented on the post, writing, "Love you, Grandad!!! "
Others were quick to congratulate the grandpa-to-be. "Congratulations!! Best grandpa ever!!!!" one person wrote. Another commented: "Your Grandad Era is going to be wonderful. Lucky little baby. ❤"
Chevy has three daughters: Emily, Cydney, and Caley, whom he shares with his wife Jayni. He also has a son — Bryan Perkins — whom he shares with a previous partner.

"So happy to have my daughter @em_chases and @alex.baglieri come by and say 'hi' at @thats4ent this weekend," he wrote at the time.
