Julia concluded, “Thank you so much for all of your love and support.”
The video’s caption read, “Big news from the #90DayFiance family ❤️ Brandon & Julia are expecting! Congratulations to the growing family!”
In addition to announcing the news via Instagram, Julia and Brandon shared maternity photos with People. One photo showed Julia posing in a yellow maxidress as she leaned to kiss Brandon, who held up their ultrasound scans. Another shot featured the couple in coordinating all-white ensembles. Meanwhile, in another snap, Julia wore a black two-piece set that showed off her belly as she sat in Brandon’s lap. The guitarist, who wore a green ensemble, smiled as he looked into his wife’s eyes.
The couple told the outlet that they’re “thrilled to step into this new chapter,” adding that it’s “both exciting and a little surreal.”
Brandon and Julia tied the knot in April 2020, as seen on 90 Day Fiancé season 8. They met through Brandon’s friend, initially speaking via video chat, as Julia lived in her native Russia. After they tied the knot, Julia became a U.S. citizen.
Since their debut in the flagship series, Brandon and Julia have chronicled the ups and downs of their marriage on 90 Day Diaries, 90 Day: The Last Resort and 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?.
During Happily Ever After? season 9, which premiered in July, Julia and Brandon sought help from a fertility doctor in the U.S. amid their struggles to conceive. However, Brandon feared that he and Julia weren’t on the same page about getting to the bottom of the issue.
“The doctors in Russia said that it’s not likely she can have kids,” Brandon explained in a confessional. “I know this is a sensitive issue for her. It’s why I really don’t want to press too much. But at the same time, Julia agreed to schedule the second opinion, and so I’ve been waiting weeks for her to schedule it.”
However, Julia ultimately faced her fears and made an appointment at a fertility clinic, which revealed potential causes of her infertility. Her doctor recommended bloodwork and a treatment course to see if their chances of conceiving could improve.
Elsewhere in season 9, Julia found herself at odds with Brandon’s parents, Betty and Ron Gibbs. Us Weekly’s exclusive look at the midseason trailer on Sunday, August 24, revealed that the tension will soon come to a head.
“You both need like step back from our family,” Julia yells at Betty and Ron.
“Maybe you do need to go back to Russia,” Betty fires back. The argument results in Brandon crying on the kitchen floor.
90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? airs Sundays at 8 p.m. ET on TLC.
