Erin Krakow has been soaking in all of the excitement during her first pregnancy after announcing in November 2025 that she and her husband, Ben Rosenbaum, are expecting.
In a new Instagram post, Krakow shared an adorable photo of her growing pregnant belly with her beloved dog, Willoughby, resting on her lap.
“Siblings 🥰,” she captioned the sweet post.

The “WCTH” star also showed off her stunning engagement ring and wedding band in the snapshot as she rested her hand on Willoughby, whom she and Rosenbaum adopted from Tobie’s Small Dog Rescue in January 2023, according to Krakow’s previous Instagram post.
Hearties couldn’t help but fawn over Krakow’s dog protecting her growing belly bump, taking to her comments to reassure her that her baby and pup will be “the best of friends.”
“Aww just resting and waiting! How sweet ❤️,” wrote one fan.
“Dogs and babies together are just the sweetest 🥹 So excited for your first and second babies to officially meet 🥰,” said another.
“Aww! So sweet! He will be a fierce protector and best friend of your baby! ❤️❤️,” added a third.
“Snuggles! It’s a beautiful connection,” said a fourth.
Erin Krakow Excitedly Reacts to Pregnancy of ‘WCTH’ Co-Stars
In an interview with Scary Mommy earlier this year, Krakow opened up about how her role as Elizabeth Thornton on “WCTH” has overlapped with her personal life as an expectant mom.
“This year, I’ve really enjoyed exploring what it means to be a protective mom — some might say overprotective mom,” she shared with the outlet of her onscreen son, Little “LJ” Jack.
When asked about the peculiarity of being pregnant at the same time as “WCTH” co-stars Kayla Wallace and her husband, Kevin McGarry, as well as co-star Chris McNally and his partner, Julie Gonzalo, the Hallmark star explained what a thrill it is to relish in the joy together.
“Oh, it’s the best. It was such a surprise to learn that we were all pregnant at the same time and due within six weeks of each other,” Krakow shared. “It has been so nice to be able to lean on one another and ask questions. ‘Is this normal? How are you preparing for this? Did you find a stroller?’ It’s nice to have a community you can lean on, and it feels pretty comparable to the way we handle life in Hope Valley.”
