Babies, babies, and more babies! Hope Valley will be welcoming three new additions when the cast returns to the When Calls the Heart set to film Season 14 later this year.
In just the last month, four of the show’s main stars have welcomed babies, all around the same time! Last year, the WCTH cast members made their exciting pregnancy announcements. Now that we’re halfway through 2026, the Heartie babies are here!
Erin Krakow (Elizabeth), Ben Rosenbaum (Mike), Chris McNally (Lucas), Kayla Wallace (Fiona), and Kevin McGarry (Nathan) have all shared updates about their growing families. Swooon has your full guide to all the stars of the hit Hallmark series who have welcomed little ones recently.
Chris McNally
McNally and his wife, Julie Gonzalo, have welcomed their second child, a baby girl. “We are so incredibly grateful to have this new little girl in our family,” the couple told People. They also shared that their newest baby looks just like her big sister. “When we compare baby photos side by side, it’s remarkable. They’re nearly identical. Both girls very much seem to be their own selves rather than have features leaning more to us, but maybe that will change as they grow. Time will tell,” they said.
In December 2025, at the Hallmark Christmas Experience in Kansas City, Missouri, McNally announced that he and his wife were expecting a baby. McNally pulled out ultrasound photos to show the crowd during the panel. He revealed that Gonzalo, Krakow, and Wallace all got pregnant “within six weeks of each other.” He gushed that it was exciting to hear the baby news from his castmates and then be able to respond, “Us too.”

McNally and Gonzalo met on the set of the Hallmark movie The Sweetest Heart. The couple welcomed their first child in 2022.
Erin Krakow & Ben Rosenbaum
Krakow and Rosenbaum welcomed their first child, a baby girl, in April 2026. “Our daughter has been the greatest gift, and we are loving getting to know her better with each passing day,” the couple dished to People. “We are loving our roles as parents, and it feels like being parents together has only deepened our partnership.”
Krakow and Rosenbaum, who met and fell in love on the set of When Calls the Heart, announced they were expecting their first child on Thanksgiving. “So much to be grateful for!!!” the couple captioned a post that featured Krakow and Rosenbaum holding ultrasound photos.

Kevin McGarry & Kayla Wallace
On Mother’s Day 2026, the couple revealed that they’d welcomed their baby but didn’t share any additional details about their little one. “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 said in a joint post with her husband.
McGarry and Wallace were the first When Calls the Heart couple to announce their pregnancy last year! On November 11, 2025, the pair confirmed they were expecting their first child. “We can’t wait to meet you, baby. Premiering 2026,” the couple wrote. Like Krakow and Rosenbaum, When Calls the Heart brought McGarry and Wallace together.
