WCTH Couple Privately Welcomed Baby, Reveal How Parenthood Is Going
Erin Krakow and Ben Rosenbaum were already parents to their dog Willoughby. In late 2025, they announced on social media that they were expecting another baby and expanding their little family. The private couple delighted fans with baby bump pictures throughout the pregnancy. One of Erin Krakow’s last social media posts was on Mother’s Day when she shared a photo of her husband cradling her baby bump.
Little did fans know that their bundle of joy had already arrived. The When Calls The Heart stars exclusively revealed to PEOPLE magazine that their little girl arrived in April. “Our daughter has been the greatest gift, and we are loving getting to know her better with each passing day,” they told the outlet.
“It was so joyful and dreamy bringing home our baby girl. We got very lucky to have a happy and easy baby. Our families came out to L.A. to meet her and help us adjust,” they shared about the first few days with their daughter.
Their dog has quickly become the baby’s protector. “Willoughby has been an adorable bodyguard. He’ll hear the tiniest noise from his little sister and run to her at heroic speed. He turns to us as if to say, “What’s taking you so long?” the couple revealed.
Erin Krakow and Ben Rosenbaum weren’t the only WCTH stars to welcome a baby this year. Kevin McGarry and Kayla Wallace welcomed their first child in May. “We’ll never forget their shocked faces when we shared that we were also expecting. … The FaceTimes, photo-sharing, and check-ins are wild as we watch each other’s babies develop along with our own. We can’t wait for the babies to hang together on set this year!” Erin Krakow and Ben Rosenbaum shared about the pregnancies.

The WCTH couple did reveal the first photos of their daughter for a feature in PEOPLE magazine. The new parents cuddle their daughter, keeping her face turned away from the camera.
When Calls The Heart fans flooded the comments with congratulations. The popular show returns to Hallmark in 2027 for Season 14. Congratulations to Erin Krakow and Ben Rosenbaum on their beautiful daughter!
