David Henrie and wife Maria Cahill’s dream of a large family is coming true.
The couple, who tied the knot in 2017, announced on Sunday, April 5 that they are expecting their fourth child together.
“SURPRISE! Thought this moment was as good as ever to share the good news… Maria is 5 months pregnant!” the Wizards of Waverly Place star wrote on Instagram, noting that the pregnancy was a bit of a surprise.
“Crazy story. Long story short, Maria and I had made peace with the idea that maybe the ‘big family’ dream wasn’t God’s plan for us. Which was fine, we are thankful for our 3!” he wrote. “Through a miraculous meeting that would never have happened without @seekingbeauty.ewtn in Seville, Spain and the intercession of St. Teresa of Avila, we have our 4th!”
Editing the caption, Cahill added a message of support for anyone struggling to conceive after her own experience with multiple miscarriages.
“While I’m excited for David to share this with you, I also know it can be so hard to read pregnancy announcements when you’re the one trying to have a baby and nothing seems to be working. I’ve been there – trying to be happy for others, but also grieving a happiness I wish could have been mine,” the former party queen wrote.
“While I’m so happy to add a brother to our family, I can’t stop thinking about all of you ladies. Know that I’m watching you all, thinking of you today and praying hard for your future pregnancies,” she added.
The parents-to-be welcomed their first child together — daughter Philomena Francesca Henrie — in 2019 after a blessing from Pope Francis. In 2020, they welcomed son James and another daughter in 2022.
