Ben Rosenbaum celebrated Mother’s Day by sharing a sweet photo with his wife and fellow actress, Erin Krakow, as the “When Calls the Heart” co-stars prepare to welcome their growing family.
Though the Hallmark actor kept the tribute simple, the photo spoke for itself. Fans quickly flooded the comments with congratulatory messages and well wishes for the couple after seeing Krakow’s baby bump on display.

Timeline of Rosenbaum & Krakow’s Relationship
Rosenbaum and Krakow sparked public interest in their relationship after years of working together on “WCTH” where they have co-starred together for over a decade. Speculation about their romantic relationship began gaining traction in early 2023 when Krakow alluded to the pair taking a big step with the adoption of their dog, Willoughby, according to Good Housekeeping.
“Meet Willoughby. We adopted him a week ago and I already can’t imagine life without him. 😍” Krakow wrote in the caption of her January 2023 Instagram post, where she also tagged Rosenbaum.
However, neither Rosenbaum nor Krakow publicly confirmed anything at the time. The first public confirmation of a romantic relationship came in February 2024, when Krakow shared a Valentine’s Day post on Instagram that confirmed their status.
In the post, Krakow included a photo kissing Rosenbaum’s cheek and wrote a simple caption that featured an anatomical heart emoji.
On the same day, Rosenbaum also posted a message alongside a screenshot of his phone’s lockscreen that featured Krakow and Willoughby. He wrote in the caption, “First thing I see when I wake up. Last thing I see before sleep. Happy Valentines Day ❤️❤️.”
In June 2025, Krakow and Rosenbaum announced that they had gotten married, with Krakow sharing wedding photos on Instagram with a simple infinity symbol as the caption.
In November 2025, Krakow revealed another life update on Instagram: the couple was expecting their first child. “So much to be grateful for!!! 🥰” Krakow wrote in the caption of her post. The announcement included a series of photo booth-style images showing the pair holding sonogram photos, along with Willoughby, who showed off his new status by donning a “big brother” shirt.
Since then, the couple has continued sharing occasional glimpses into their life together, including milestone celebrations like their six-month wedding anniversary and this adorable Mother’s Day tribute, while still maintaining a relatively private relationship.
