David Henrie and his wife Maria Cahill’s dream of having a big family is coming true.
The couple, who married in 2017, announced on Sunday, April 5, that they are expecting their fourth child together.
“SURPRISE! I thought this was the best time to share the good news… Maria is 5 months pregnant!” he Wizards of Waverly Place the 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 the ‘big family’ dream might not be God’s plan for us. Which was fine, we are grateful for our 3!” he wrote. “Through a miraculous encounter that would never have happened without @seekingbeauty.ewtn in Seville, Spain, and the intercession of Saint Teresa of Avila, we are celebrating our fourth!”
Editing the caption, Cahill added a message of support for everyone struggling to conceive after her own experience with multiple miscarriages.
“While I’m excited for David to share this with you, I also know that it can be very difficult to read pregnancy announcements when you’re the one trying to have a baby and nothing seems to work. I’ve been there, trying to be happy for others but at the same time grieving for a happiness I wish could have been mine,” the former pageant queen wrote.
“While I am very happy to add a brother to our family, I can’t help but think of all of you women. Please know that I see you all, I am thinking of you today and I am 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 their son James and another daughter in 2022.
