Brooklyn revealed that she was expecting her first child in avideohoursafter the sisters told fans one of them was pregnant without saying who. In it, Brooklyn took a pregnancy test at the encouragement of her husband.

Before the video ended, Brooklyn revealed her due date as Jan. 23, 2025, although her little one ultimately arrived a little bit earlier than projected.

In July 2024, Brooklyn revealed the moment shesurprised Bailey with her pregnancy news.

In theTikTok, Brooklyn, Dakota, Bailey and her husband Asa can be seen playing a game of Tapple, in which the couples rapidly name a word that matches the category and starts with a specific letter.

“P… I’m pregnant,” Brooklyn said when it was her turn to name a word, pulling out her positive pregnancy test and turning to Bailey.

Bailey immediately bursted into tears and embraced Brooklyn in a hug.

Brooklyn opened up in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE in October 2024 about how her lifestyle change may affect her online presence, but ensured fans that she will not be pivoting entirely to parenting content. Ultimately, she noted that her shared account with Baileywill continue to show both of their lives.

“I do think that is kind of what draws people into our content sometimes is that there are two perspectives. There are kind of two people and two lives being lived on one account,” Brooklyn said. “If someone can’t necessarily relate to the place that I am at right now having kids and kind of that experience, then they probably can relate to Bailey and her just being married and having fun and traveling and doing all these fun things.”
