"We don't have any children [together], but we're about to adopt a baby," Tennon told E! News in August at the premiere of "The Help" in Beverly Hills.
Davis echoed her husband, adding, "Yes, we're about to adopt a baby."
Daughter Genesis is the first child for the Tony-winning actress, 46. Tennon has two children from a previous relationship.
