Julia Trubkina and Brandon Gibbs have shared a major life update, revealing Julia’s pregnancy to their closest friends. The couple made the surprise announcement during the Season 9 finale of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?, which aired on November 2, 2025. In a significant decision, they chose to tell friends before their own parents, wanting trusted companions to be the first to know.
The Big Reveal
Brandon and Julia met with their friends Nikki and Drew in an outdoor setting. The couple had arranged the meeting with a special purpose, wanting to ask their friends a very important question. They all ordered food, and Julia began the surprise by asking for a bottle of chocolate syrup, which confused their friends.
Julia then used the syrup to write a message on a plate. With Brandon’s help, she wrote the question, “Can you be godparents?” Their friends initially had trouble making out the writing. Once they understood the message, they were stunned. Nikki screamed with happiness, and Drew was left speechless by the news. He expressed his shock at how quickly the couple had been able to conceive, calling it “great news” while needing a moment to absorb it all.
Drew reacted: “I’m like, super…still in shock, like how quickly it was that they were able to conceive. It’s great news. It’s just taking me a minute to, you know, absorb it all.”
Julia revealed she was already halfway through her pregnancy, adding to their friends’ surprise. Nikki and Drew became the very first people to learn about the pregnancy, even before the couple’s family members.
Choosing Friends Over Family
The decision to tell friends before family came from Julia’s concerns about Brandon’s mother’s potential involvement. Julia explained her reasoning, stating the pregnancy was high-risk and she was dealing with significant stress. She worried that telling Brandon’s mom would lead to too much involvement.
Julia confirmed: “We have a high-risk pregnancy, and I’m like I have a lot of stress. And she (Brandon’s mom) will be involved too much.”
Nikki offered her honest opinion after hearing the news, advising Julia that she should tell her mother-in-law. Noting that Julia was already halfway through the pregnancy, Nikki felt it was about time to share the news with family. Brandon agreed with Nikki’s perspective.
A Look at the Upcoming Tell-All
The pregnancy news comes just before the highly anticipated 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? Tell-All special. A trailer released on November 2, 2025, promises a four-part showdown filled with dramatic confrontations among the couples.
