The couple announced that they were expecting in April, and said they learned the good news in September whole they were filming both Home Town and  Home Town Takeover.

"This baby is a miracle," an insider previously told OK! as Erin had been told a few years ago that she was unlikely to get pregnant due to a past health issue. "When their first daughter arrived, they were overjoyed — and they never imagined that they'd be blessed with a second!"

"They have no doubt she'll be wonderful. She's very warm and empathetic toward others," they continued. "She loves to hug too, so the baby will be extremely loved."
