The Shocking Medical History That Makes This Pregnancy a Miracle
The news of Julia's pregnancy is particularly poignant because of a long-held fear and a devastating diagnosis she received years ago. This backstory adds an incredible layer of emotion to their happy announcement, transforming it from celebrity gossip into a true feel-good story of overcoming adversity.
The Doctor's Devastating Diagnosis in Russia
During her time on the spin-off show *90 Day: The Last Resort*, Julia made an emotional confession that she had been keeping a secret from many fans. She revealed that a doctor in Russia had previously told her that she might not be able to have biological children.
This diagnosis was terrifying for Julia, who was deeply worried about how Brandon would react. She feared that the news would be a dealbreaker for her husband, who comes from a family where having children is highly valued. Her fertility struggles were a silent, heartbreaking battle that she carried throughout her reality TV journey.
Overcoming Fertility Struggles and Finding Hope
Despite the initial diagnosis, the couple remained hopeful and continued to try for a family. Their appearance on *90 Day: The Last Resort* was a period of intense focus on their relationship, including addressing this deep-seated fear. The show highlighted the couple's difficulties in starting a family, making their eventual pregnancy announcement an even bigger surprise for viewers.
The fact that Julia is now pregnant is a powerful and unexpected reversal of the initial medical opinion. It highlights the often-unpredictable nature of fertility and provides a message of hope to others facing similar challenges. The couple shared their news exclusively with People, calling it "exciting and a little scary," but ultimately a dream come true.
What We Know About Julia and Brandon’s Baby and Due Date
The couple has been relatively open with the timeline of their pregnancy, offering fans a few key details about when the baby is expected and how far along Julia was when the news broke.
A First Look at the Timeline
While the exact due date is a private matter, reports suggest that Julia was approximately six months pregnant during the filming of their announcement, placing the baby's arrival firmly in the first half of 2025. This means that Julia and Brandon will be welcoming their little one right on the heels of their public announcement, making the news feel incredibly current and immediate.
The couple has been married for over five years, and this baby represents the culmination of their efforts to build a life together, far from the dramatic farm life they first shared with Brandon’s parents, Ron and Betty. They have since moved out of Hummingbird Acres Farm and are financially stable, with Julia even reaching a huge milestone by thriving with her new business in the U.S.
The Couple’s Reaction and Future Plans
Both Julia and Brandon have expressed immense joy and a touch of nervousness about becoming first-time parents. Brandon, who was once the subject of intense scrutiny for his dependence on his parents, has matured significantly and is ready to embrace fatherhood. Julia, who has always been protective and passionate, is expected to be a wonderful and dedicated mother.
The couple’s journey from a K-1 Visa reality show to a stable, married life with a baby on the way is a rare success story in the *90 Day Fiancé* franchise. They have navigated cultural differences, the strict rules of Ron and Betty, the challenges of moving off the farm, and now, the emotional hurdle of an initial infertility diagnosis. Their happiness is palpable, and fans are eagerly awaiting more updates on the gender and name of their new baby. With a new addition to their family, which already includes their beloved puppy Nalla, the Gibbs-Trubkina household is set for a beautiful, new beginning in 2025.
