In the photos, Gabby Sidibe wore a hot pink, long-sleeved pink dress with black boots. Meanwhile, her hubby wore a black tee, black pants, and peach-colored sneakers. Two of the four pictures show Brandon holding his wife’s baby bump from behind while they both cheesed for the camera.

Another showed them posing with a double stroller, but we can’t say whether they left the store with it. In the final shot, Gabby cradles her double-occupied bump in a side profile.

The pregnancy news comes a few months after the 40-year-old revealed in December that she and Brandon had tied the knot in 2021. She had been engaged since November 2020 after meeting on a dating app, per PEOPLE. In 2022, she told Brides magazine that their first date lasted “more than seven hours.”

Their simple wedding, “at the kitchen table,” came about four months after the proposal.

Congrats, Gabby and Brandon!
