Nia Booko Is Pregnant & Expecting Baby No. 4 with Danny Booko: "Complete Surprise"
The Valley's Nia Booko also opened up about her special bond with fellow pregnant castmate, Kristen Doute.
Nia Booko and Danny Booko are expecting their fourth child together!
The spouses, who opened up about the stresses of having three children under the age of three on Season 1 of The Valley, confirmed the exciting news in a chat with Us Weekly, published on December 26.
"It was a complete surprise," the 34-year-old model and pageant queen told the outlet about finding out she was pregnant in October. "I was shocked but I knew that Daniel would have a full mix of emotions. So I told him on his birthday — exactly a week after I found out."
Though Nia, who has three kids with the actor, was surprised by the pregnancy, she noted that the spouses were always planning on expanding their family in the future.
"We had a plan," she told the publication, adding that the couple intended to start trying for another baby in early 2025. "This was a little bit earlier than our plan. But we figured this baby needed to come at a certain time. Just a little earlier than planned."
Nia went on to note that she's excited to have her children be so close in age.
"If I’m gonna go through it, we might as well get all these kids out. And then I can get back to being myself. It is that thing, obviously, you’re always gonna be a mom and just having your body back to yourself as a woman," she explained. "So let’s do it all close together."
How many kids do Nia and Danny Booko have?
The Valley cast members, who got married in 2015, share three-year-old son Asher and one-year-old twin daughters Zariah and Isabelle together.
Do Nia and Danny Booko know the sex of baby no. 4?
Danny and Nia do not currently know the sex of their fourth baby, though they do plan to find out soon.
"We technically have an email in the inbox. Daniel wants to know and I’m telling him we have to wait and do it in some special way," Nia said. “Even if it’s intimately between us first. Then we’ll probably do a gender reveal at some point in the new year with some friends and family. It will definitely be very cute."
Nia Booko opens up about her new bond with pregnant castmate Kristen Doute
Nia isn't the only cast member from The Valley who is currently pregnant. Back in November, Kirsten Doute announced that she was expecting her first child, a baby girl, with fiancé Luke Broderick.
Nia has yet to publicly share her due date, but Kristen is due to give birth in June 2025. Now that the castmates are both pregnant at the same time, they've grown even closer in their friendship.
"We’ve bonded so much over the last few years in general. It took us a year and a half to get pregnant at first — and I know Kristen has been very public about her journey. Before Asher, it took us a year and a half. Now that we’re both pregnant, we are definitely extra close," Nia explained to the outlet. "It’s been nice to be there for her during the early stages of her pregnancy.”
