Krakow and Rosenbaum announced she was pregnant in November of 2025 with a joint Instagram post captioned, “So much to be grateful for !!!” and a shot of the pair holding up an ultrasound image.
In a recent interview with Scary Mommy, Krakow opened up about her pregnancy — as well as WCTH castmates Kevin McGarry and Chris McNally, whose wives are also both expecting!
“Oh, it’s the best,” the actress gushed. “It was such a surprise to learn that we were all pregnant at the same time and due within six weeks of each other! It has been so nice to be able to lean on one another and ask questions. Is this normal? How are you preparing for this? Did you find a stroller?”
Krakow continued, “It’s nice to have a community you can lean on, and it feels pretty comparable to the way we handle life in Hope Valley. So, art imitating life or vice versa. But it’s really been very special, and it’s probably my favorite chapter of my life so far. I can’t wait to see what next year brings.”
The actress revealed that her pregnancy news was almost accidentally revealed while on the set of WHEN CALLS THE HEART due to her pregnancy cravings.
“I just wanted pickles on everything. And I didn’t reveal the news to our cast and crew until later in the season, but yeah, Crafty was starting to wonder, I heard, after the fact,” Krakow laughed. “They were like, ‘She is asking for extra pickles every time she gets a sandwich; is there something that we should be aware of?’”
She also shared how she’s been preparing for her baby’s arrival, saying she’s “trying not to over-Google or overread.”
“I think that is helping to protect me from being terrified because I’m just very much taking it one day at a time. And everybody who becomes a parent figures out how to parent in their own way. So, I’m kind of counting on that,” Krakow explained. “It’s all going to be fine, namaste. But something I’m really looking forward to, I just want to sniff that baby’s head, I just want to breathe in that delicious newborn smell. Oh, so good.”
Krakow and Rosenbaum seem more than ready for the arrival of their little one!
