Hallmark star Julie Gonzalo shared a beautiful photo on February 14, 2026, as she awaits the arrival of her second child with “When Calls The Heart” star Chris McNally. In the pic, Gonzalo cradled her baby bump, looking at peace as the sun glowed behind her.
Gonzalo, 44, wrote in the caption, “Happy Valentines Day ❤️ Almost complete. We can’t wait to meet you little one, so so soon…” and signed it from “Dad, mom and big sister xx”
Hallmark Stars & Fans Shared Their Excitement for Julie Gonzalo & Chris McNally
Many of Gonzalo and McNally’s Hallmark friends commented on her rare post, including WCTH series lead Erin Krakow, who’s also expecting. She gushed, “Most stunning photo of you ever ever ever.”
Fellow WCTH star Andrea Brooks chimed in, “Most beautiful mama!!!! 😍😍😍😍 I heart you guys!”
Gonzalo’s “Cut, Color, Murder” co-star Ryan McPartlin left a red heart emoji and “Time for Me to Come Home for Christmas” Josh Henderson — who also co-starred with Gonzalo in the 2012 “Dallas” reboot, wrote, “Ohhhhh my goodness ❤️😍🙏🏽”
Fans were equally smitten with Gonzalo’s post, including someone who wrote, “❤️❤️ so awesome Julie. thank you for sharing you are so kind to share such a beautiful time and private moment in your life. 💕”
Another commented, “Blessings to your family 🥰. You look beautiful momma.”
Although the last photo on Gonzalo’s Instagram account is from 2024, this isn’t the first time she’s shared a pic of her baby bump. On February 6, the “Pumpkin Pie Wars” star posted before-and-after pics on X (formerly known as Twitter) of her in a bathroom mirror, first when she was newly pregnant and second with her growing baby bump.
Gonzalo tweeted with the pics, “New year, New life.. we can’t wait to meet you. Dad, mom and big sister xx How it started vs. how it’s going”
Chris McNally Announced Pregnancy With Julie Gonzalo’s Sonogram Images
Gonzalo, who last appeared in 2025’s “My Argentine Heart,” noted in her caption that the photo was taken by “CWM,” which are McNally’s initials. The couple, who starred together in 2023’s “3 Bed, 2 Bath, 1 Ghost,” already share a daughter, who will turn four in June.
McNally announced their happy news during a panel at the Hallmark Christmas Experience in December, pulling a series of ultrasound images out of his pocket.
Joking that it must have been something in the on-set catering, he revealed that their due date is within six weeks of two other WCTH couples currently expecting. In November, Erin Krakow and Ben Rosenbaum announced their pregnancy less than two weeks after Kevin McGarry and Kayla Wallace did the same.
