Congratulations are in order because The Bold and the Beautiful star Ashleigh Brewer (Ivy Forrester) and her real-life husband Mark Bauch are expecting their first child.

For many, this comes as surprising news since they didn’t spot the slightest baby bump onscreen on B&B. But others had a feeling and thought they noticed it. Either way, the couple is clearly overjoyed.

This happy update comes just months after Brewer and Bauch tied the knot in December 2025. Sharing a few photos of her baby bump on Instagram, Brewer simply captioned it, “We are so excited!!

About That Wedding

In a new interview with Stellar, Brewer reflected on how their wedding came together.

“We’d been engaged for two years but we couldn’t quite figure out how to do a wedding and where to do it. He’s English, I’m Australian and we live in Los Angeles. In the end, we organised the wedding in nine days. We had a date set at the Santa Barbara courthouse and we just committed to it.

We were only allowed 10 people, so we had to pick our closest friends, and he had his parents there and my mum flew in. It was just a perfect cyclone of everything falling into place, the way it was meant to be, and it just felt so kismet. I wore a white silk dress, which arrived in the mail two days before the wedding.”

It may have been a whirlwind, but it sounds like everything happened exactly the way it was meant to.
