"I am overjoyed to be welcoming my baby boy into the world this January. It's almost like everything I thought mattered in this life has completely changed.. We're here for such a greater purpose and life is so precious," she announced back then.
She was initially reluctant to go public with the pregnancy. "Was debating keeping this part of my life hidden but I knew people would see pictures eventually with my belly & I wanted you guys to hear it from me," she explained. "I do want to keep this chapter of my life private but did want to be the first to share the news."
Days later, it's revealed that her husband Michael Kopech quietly filed for divorce in June, only six months after they tied the knot.
