“Duck Dynasty” alum Sadie Robertson is expecting her first child with husband Christian Huff.

The couple, who got married in November 2019 on her family’s Louisiana farm, announced the news via Instagram on Sunday, Oct. 4, saying they were “thankful to be carrying a miracle into the world.”

“Baby, you are already loved and already believed in,” Robertson, 23, wrote alongside a photo of herself and Huff cuddling on the couch and holding up her sonogram. “Can’t wait to welcome you into the world with all the joy, hope, and excitement you will bring into the life of so many by your miraculous incredible life.”

Huff, 22, posted a similar photo on his Instagram page and captioned it: "mom & dad."

The couple's posts received an outpouring of love from both family and friends.

Robertson's mom, Korie, posted a tribute to Sadie and her husband, saying they were going to be “fun” and “joyful” parents.

Robertson’s sister, Rebecca, wrote, “Screaming with happiness!!!”

A number of celebrities, including Bindi Irwin, Alexa Vega and Candace Cameron Bure, also congratulated the couple.

Shortly after their wedding last year, Robertson told People that children were definitely in their future plans but added that they weren’t in a rush.

“That’s probably years down the road,” the former “Dancing with the Stars” contestant told the outlet.

“We definitely want kids, and a lot of kids,” Robertson added. “I grew up with six in our family and Christian just has one brother, but he has so many cousins.”

Robertson has spent a good portion of her life on television, first appearing on “Duck Dynasty” and then on “Dancing with the Stars.” But though she exuded confidence in front of the camera, she has confessed that there were moments when she felt she was under tremendous pressure.

Robertson recently told Entertainment Tonight that she felt pressured to maintain her fit figure after her stint on “Dancing with the Stars.” It wasn’t long before she developed an unhealthy view of her body.

But Robertson said she was able to get through it due to her faith in God.

“I started praising God and thanking him for the way that I looked, instead of looking in the mirror and saying, 'Ugh, I wish my arms were thinner, I wish my legs were more toned, I wish I had her eyebrows' ... whatever it was that I would tell myself,” she told ET.
