Joy-Anna announced she was pregnant back in August.

“We’re so happy and thankful to announce that we’re expecting a baby,” Joy-Anna told Us Weekly in a statement at the time. “Every child is such a precious gift from God. I’m most looking forward to watching Austin as a dad and raising children together with him. I have a lot of good memories of my mom teaching us and the quality time we spent together, and I’m really looking forward to doing that with my own children. It’s such an amazing thing to be a parent and raise children!”
