Actress Anneliese van der Pol is going to be a mom! The That’s So Raven star announced that she and her husband Johnno Wilson are expecting their first baby together. The actress also revealed her baby’s sex.
The Raven’s Home stars shared their news in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, with special thanks to Babylist for helping them shop for their little one. The couple revealed that their baby will arrive in October and shared they are expecting a girl! Anneliese gushed about having a girl, “I have two sisters and I could not be happier to bring another girl into the sisterhood.” She hadn’t realized how badly she wanted a daughter until the couple had their gender reveal. Her husband hit a golf ball that exploded in pink powder. “I didn’t realize how much I wanted a girl until he swung and it went pink.”
The 5 Weddings star went on explain, “Of course, you just want a healthy child, and a boy would’ve been exciting too, but there’s something about a girl in this time that I’m just so proud of. I don’t want her to be a performer or care if she’s a doctor…but she WILL be a feminist.” Anneliese also revealed that the couple originally didn’t think they wanted to have kids. “We were the couple that said we would never have kids,” the actress shared. The Bride Hard actor added, “We knew early on in our relationship that we had something amazing between us, so we had the kids convo early on and agreed — let’s just focus on career and travel. I highly recommend checking in with each other every few years.”
The couple first met on the set of Raven’s Home in 2017 when they were cast to play exes. During a wrap party for the show’s first season, the couple reconnected and started dating. However, they didn’t officially confirm they were in a relationship until three years later in 2020. They got engaged in December 2023 and tied the knot one year later in December 2024 in a courthouse wedding in Santa Barbara, California.
Congratulations to Anneliese and Johnno on the news of their baby girl!
