The couple’s bundle of joy is due in mid June, with Nilsson just hitting the 14-week mark.
Nilsson and Byrne first announced the news on Dec. 14 with a tearful video shared to her YouTube page, shot as she and Byrne read the results of her pregnancy test live on camera.
“I can’t believe it,” Nilsson, 32, said in the clip. “It just didn’t seem real. I didn’t think it could be. I thought I just had a late period!”
Byrne was equally shocked. “I can’t fathom it yet,” he said, telling his wife, “I love you.”
“Our little person, when we’re old, we can show this to them,” Nilsson said of the clip, breaking into tears again. “It’s so sweet. Oh maybe I really am pregnant. I’m crying a lot, even for me!”
She then posted about the pregnancy news on Instagram, writing that she was feeling “Pure JOY!”

Hours after sharing her big news, Nilsson posted a video on Instagram expressing gratitude to fans for their support.
“Today’s been such an exciting day,” Nilsson added. “As a new mama, to see so many people filled with so much joy for us, it’s very humbling. It’s just such a miracle. So it’s really fun to share with everyone.”
The expectant mother went on to explain that while she “can’t respond to every single comment,” she was “reading them all.”
“I need to take breaks because it’s making me cry!” Nilsson said. “It’s so precious. I feel connected to all of you and it just means a lot. It feels like we’re not in this alone. We just have people supporting us and praying for us. We’re very, very happy and wow. Just wow.”
Since then, Nilsson — who married Byrne in September 2017 after nearly two years of dating — has shared more and more about her pregnancy on social media.
