‘WCTH’ Cast Celebrates Baby Boom as Three Co-Star Couples Welcome New Arrivals This Year
It was revealed that the “WCTH” costars welcomed a baby girl in April earlier this year, per PEOPLE.
“Our precious new family member entered the world in early April,” Krakow and Rosenbaum told the outlet. “Our daughter has been the greatest gift, and we are loving getting to know her better with each passing day.”
“It’s already hard to remember life before she arrived,” the pair said. “We are loving our roles as parents, and it feels like being parents together has only deepened our partnership. We are, however, a bit more tired, and Erin — who was a non-coffee drinker previously — has had a change of heart on the matter.”
McGarry and his wife Kayla Wallace, who has also been on “WCTH,” and Chris McNally and his wife, another fellow Hallmark actor Julie Gonzalo, were also getting ready to add another member to their families. McGarry and Wallace announced their baby’s arrival on Mother’s Day in a joint Instagram post, while McNally and Gonzalo revealed the birth of their second child in June.
“Mother. The newest part of me that became the best part of me the second we met. Motherhood has been the greatest joy of my life. Happy Mother’s Day 🩵,” Wallace wrote in the caption of her May 10 post.
“Getting to surprise each other with the pregnancy news was a peak fun life experience,” Krakow and Rosenbaum told PEOPLE. “There were shrieks of excitement that only grew with each announcement. We’ll never forget their shocked faces when we shared that we were also expecting. … The FaceTimes, photo-sharing, and check-ins are wild as we watch each other’s babies develop along with our own. We can’t wait for the babies to hang together on set this year!”
