Fans of Married at First Sight met Austin and Jessica Hurd for the first time when they got married in Season 10. Later, on MAFS: Couples' Cam, they took more steps in their relationship. During the 2021 season, Austin and Jess talked seriously about starting a family, and it was kind of a big deal.
Their followers already saw them expand their family by becoming dog parents, but actually having a baby was a pretty huge step. As viewers know, they did start a family together. And, in March 2024, the couple announced the impending arrival of their second child together. If you've ever wondered about the success of MAFS as a whole, these two can attest to the experiment working out.
Jess and Austin talked about a baby for the first time on 'MAFS' spinoff 'Couples' Cam.'
On Couples' Cam, Jess made plans to talk to Austin about starting a family together. Spending time with her niece and Austin alone brought Jess to the realization that she wanted to start a family. She just needed to get Austin up to speed.
"I feel like right now is a good time to start a family," Jess said at the time on the show. "We have a house, we both are stable in our careers, we're confident in our relationship. So I wanna make sure that Austin is also 100 percent on board with this because it is a big decision."
It did take a little convincing for Austin to see her point of view, but not much.
As fans know, the couple announced in July 2021 that they were expecting their first baby together, so it wasn't long after their in-show storyline played out. And in March 2024, they revealed to People that they were expecting their second baby together. But, they told the outlet, they plan to wait to find out their second baby's gender, though they're excited all the same to meet baby number two.
Jess Hurd works in labor and delivery.
When Jess shared her readiness on Couples' Cam to start a family, she cited hers and Austin's way with kids together and as individuals. But outside of that, Jess was already experienced in the way of babies and everything that comes with birth. She is a labor and delivery RN, so she already knew some of what to expect.
Now, with Jess and Austin's son being a walking toddler, Jess and Austin have even more experience that hopefully prepared them for the birth of their second child together.
Pastor Cal would be proud.
