Sister Wives offspring Madison Brush has another little girl on the way. The daughter of Kody Brown and his now ex-wife, Janelle Brown, Madison is expecting her fourth child with husband Caleb Brush.
Madison and Caleb already share three children: Axel, 7; Evie, 5; and Josephine, 21 months.
“Excited to share here that Baby Brush #4 will be another little girl!” Maddie wrote on Instagram Nov. 8 alongside a pic of her cradling her bump. “Still playing with some names, but Evie is over the moon, poor Axel is coming around to the idea and Joey has no idea what’s about to come. Caleb and I are just excited for a happy healthy girl and family.”
Baby number four was a total surprise for Madison Brush
The gender news isn’t the only Brush family secret Madison is sharing. Maddie recently revealed that her fourth pregnancy was completely unexpected.
“This one was a surprise,” she said on the November 4 episode of her new podcast, The Authentic Society. “We were getting ready to be done. Caleb was talking to a urologist, and I was like, ‘I’m pregnant.’”
Madison described the discovery of her unplanned addition to the Brush family as being a “surreal experience.”
“It was such a shock and such a surprise,” she said. “I feel like Joey just happened, so I’ve just been pregnant for two years.”
Grandma will be there to help with the new baby
Even though the baby was a surprise, Maddie and her husband of eight years weren’t disappointed to learn they were expecting another girl.
“Caleb and I are nerdy, and we were kind of thinking it was probably going to be a girl,” she said, adding, “Because most often, statistically, when you have two of one, you’re gonna have a third.” I never heard that theory before, but okay.
Sadly, there’s one member of the Brush family who wasn’t exactly over the moon about getting another sister.
“Axel was very disappointed,” Maddie explained. “Sobbing, crying, [he] told us the next morning that he was going to pray that God changed this to a boy. And I was like, ‘Doesn’t work that way, buddy.’”
Fortunately, Maddie will have an extra pair of hands this time around as Grandma Janelle is now living part-time in North Carolina. I wouldn’t count on any help from Kody, who says his “children have betrayed” him.
“She’s been really, really such a good mom,” Janelle told E! News in October. “So I’m like, ‘You guys could really have a lot more if you want.’ And she’s like, ‘No, Mom. Four’s good.’”
But Janelle won’t give up hope, adding, “Please, I’m here to help! Have as many as you want!”
Sister Wives airs Sundays at 10/9c on TLC and streams on Discovery+.
