With season 13 of “When Calls the Heart” expected to wrap up in March, that ending will likely usher in some exciting beginnings for several Hallmark stars. Incredibly, three couples connected to the hit show have babies on the way.
WCTH couple Erin Krakow and Ben Rosenbaum are expecting their first baby, as are WCTH’s Kevin McGarry and his wife, WCTH alum Kayla Wallace. In addition, WCTH’s Chris McNally and his longtime love, Hallmark star Julie Gonzalo, are expecting their second child.
Though none of the stars have specifically shared their due date, the info they have shared leads us to believe the Hallmark baby boom is just around the corner.
Erin Krakow’s Due Date is Likely in March 2026: Here’s Why
Krakow, who has played series lead Elizabeth Thornton since WCTH premiered in 2014, announced her pregnancy with Rosenbaum on November 26 via social media.
The couple, who surprised fans with news of their wedding in June, posted an adorable announcement featuring four photo booth pics in which they held up their sonogram photos and their beloved rescue pup, Willoughby, who was wearing a “big brother” shirt.
Though they didn’t share a specific due date, Rosenbaum posted a sweet tribute to his wife on December 1 that said, “6 months of wedded bliss. 5 months of growing our baby. 1 lifetime of love in front of us @erinkrakow 🥰”
If Rosenbaum’s reference to Krakow being pregnant for five months was exact, that would mean the actress is now eight months pregnant, with Willoughby’s sibling due within the next four weeks, in March 2026.
Kayla Wallace May Welcome Her Baby Sooner Than Erin Krakow
GettyIt’s not known which baby is due first, but McGarry and Wallace, who stepped back from her WCTH role to join the cast of “Landman” in 2024, were the first of the three couples to announce their pregnancy. They shared a joint post on November 11 to spill the news, with a photo of McGarry cradling Wallace’s baby bump.
That same night, they attended the “Landman” season two premiere, and Wallace proudly showed off her pregnant belly under a cream-colored silk dress paired with black leather gloves.
In mid-January, Wallace shared a throwback pic from the last scene she shot for the second season, writing that it was bittersweet “knowing we all had to say goodbye to each other and also secretly basking in the thought of heading home to my husband and just enjoying being pregnant.”
According to the Fort Worth Star Telegram, “Landman” wrapped filming the first week of August. Wallace didn’t reveal how far along she was as they wrapped the season, but she noted in her post that the “A/C was flowing between takes” and that she was on her “2nd or 3rd coconut water,” which has become a commonly-used antidote for morning sickness — a symptom that doesn’t typically start until at least the sixth week of pregnancy, per the Cleveland Clinic.
Even if Wallace was only six weeks along at that time, she, too, would be due by late March or early April at the latest.
Julie Gonzalo Said in February That Her Baby Was Due ‘So Soon’
Meanwhile, McNally announced his and Gonzalo’s baby news in December at the Hallmark Christmas Experience, surprising the audience by pulling out their sonogram pics and revealing that all three couples were due within six weeks of each other.
Gonzalo rarely posts on Instagram, but she shared a beautiful photo on Valentine’s Day of herself cradling her baby bump, looking at peace as the sun glowed behind her, and noted that her pregnancy was “almost complete.”
She and McNally, who starred together in 2023’s “3 Bed, 2 Bath, 1 Ghost,” already share a daughter, who will turn four in June.
