The Biggest Update: Julia and Brandon Are Expecting Their First Child
In the most heartwarming and long-awaited news for the couple, Julia Trubkina and Brandon Gibbs are officially expecting their first baby together. The announcement, which came in 2025, confirms that the couple is moving into a completely new chapter of their lives after five years of marriage. This news ends years of speculation and fan curiosity about when, or if, the famously tumultuous couple would finally start a family.
1. The Official Pregnancy Announcement
The couple shared the news exclusively with PEOPLE, expressing that they are "thrilled to step into this new chapter" of their lives. The announcement included stunning maternity photos, showcasing Julia’s baby bump and the couple’s clear excitement. This major life event follows their appearance on the spin-off series, 90 Day: The Last Resort, where they worked through their relationship issues, seemingly paving the way for this next big step.
2. Fan Speculation and the Baby’s Arrival Timeline
While the official announcement confirmed they were expecting, the timeline has been a hot topic among the fan community. Some reports, citing podcasters and social media chatter, suggest the couple may have already welcomed a baby boy in October 2025. However, the most widely reported and officially confirmed update from TLC and major news outlets is the pregnancy itself, with the baby due in late 2025 or early 2026. Regardless of the exact date, the fact that Julia and Brandon are now parents-to-be is the definitive top story of their 2025 journey.
From Go-Go Dancer to Entrepreneur: Julia’s Stunning Career Pivot
One of the central conflicts in Julia’s original story was Brandon’s family's disapproval of her previous job as a go-go dancer in Russia. After moving to the U.S., Julia struggled to find a career that satisfied her while also appeasing Brandon and his family's traditional views. Her latest venture, however, is a massive success and a significant step toward financial independence.
3. Launching 'Kingdom For Dogs' Pet Business
Julia has launched a brand-new business in the U.S. that is already achieving major success: a pet-focused enterprise called Kingdom For Dogs. This career move is a perfect fit for Julia, who is a known animal lover, and it allows her to step into the world of entrepreneurship. The business focuses on products and services aimed at pet owners, a stark and positive contrast to her previous work and a clear path to becoming the family's "new breadwinner."
4. A History of 'Odd Jobs' and Resilience
Before finding success with her pet business, Julia revealed she had worked an astonishing 15 odd jobs since she was just 13 years old. This history of hard work, which included everything from fitness instruction to modeling, underscores her resilience and drive to succeed in America, regardless of the initial backlash she faced for her dancing career. This latest business venture is the culmination of years of searching for the right professional fit.
Relationship Status and Future TV Appearances
Despite their constant bickering and the challenges of merging two very different worlds, Julia and Brandon have proven their critics wrong. They remain one of the most enduring couples from their season, and their relationship continues to evolve both on and off-screen.
5. Still Together and Stronger Than Ever
Ahead of recent spin-off premieres, Julia has confirmed that she and Brandon are still together, dispelling any breakup rumors. Their relationship was tested on 90 Day: The Last Resort, where they sought counseling to address their core issues, ultimately strengthening their bond and leading to the decision to have a child. The stability they’ve found is a testament to their dedication to making their cross-cultural marriage work.
6. Update on Brandon Gibbs’ Health Issues
In January 2025, Julia provided a public update regarding Brandon Gibbs’ health issues, which had concerned fans. While details of his specific ailment were kept private, Julia’s open communication assured followers that Brandon was doing well and recovering. This moment highlighted the couple's reliance on each other and their willingness to share personal challenges with their audience.
7. Potential New Spin-Off Series
Always open to more reality television, there is chatter that Julia Trubkina may be leaving for a new series, which she has hinted is a "perfect show" for her. While unconfirmed, the couple's popularity and their new life changes—especially the baby and Julia's entrepreneurial success—make them prime candidates for a new spin-off, potentially focusing on their life as new parents and business owners away from the farm. Their journey from farm life to suburban parents and business moguls is a compelling narrative that TLC is unlikely to ignore.
Conclusion: The Evolution of Julia and Brandon
The 2025 updates for Julia Trubkina and Brandon Gibbs paint a clear picture of growth and maturity. The drama of the farm and the conflict over Julia's past are firmly in the rearview mirror. With the launch of her successful pet business, Kingdom For Dogs, and the joyous news of their first child, the couple has successfully navigated the K-1 visa process, the cultural clashes, and the reality TV spotlight.
