Fans were shocked when Gonzalo shared the news that she and her husband had welcomed their first child three years later. “Our hearts are full … Welcome baby M ♥️,” the Christmas with the KranksStar captioned the June 2022 photo and tagged her beau.
Krakow was quick and responsive to send her well wishes to her TV husband. She commented with three smiling faces with hearts emojis. Andrea BrooksMcNally’s co-star, Jeremy, added a series pink heart emojis to his role on the show.
