💗✨BIG NEWS✨💗
Stepmother is becoming… a mother! 👶💅
Scott and I are thrilled to share that we’re expecting a baby GIRL — arriving April 18th, 2026! 🎀
I don’t know exactly when my maternity leave will begin, but I’ll keep you all posted — and I can’t wait to return to Death Becomes Her to start my next act as a working mama! 🎭💋
For now, I’m sharing the stage with my tiniest co-star — she’s already loud, funny, and dramatic… clearly taking after both her parents. 😉
Oliver the cat is also very excited to become a big brother (and slightly concerned about sharing the spotlight). 🐾💖
And I already know Scott is going to be the most amazing girl dad — this little one hit the jackpot. 💕
Thank you all for the love and support — this next chapter is already full of laughter and love. 💕 Stay tuned because I am bringing ya’ll on this journey with me! 😘

18 weeks pregnant and finally getting to live in Madeline Ashton for a few glorious reps — not just a quick cameo, but actual time to savor her delicious chaos. ✨
Every moment felt extra precious because we don’t quite know when maternity leave will call me away… so you better believe I’m living every second like it’s my last!
And of course, sharing the stage with my Forbidden Broadway sister, Jennifer Simard, made it all even more sparkling (and unhinged).
Don’t worry — this pregnant lady still has plenty of shows left before baby takes the spotlight!

Welcome to the world, our perfect little song—
Aria Grace Pearson 🎶
Born 4/9/2026 at 2:01am
7 lb 10 oz • 20 inches
Her name is Aria, and somehow, together, we made the most beautiful music.
I’ll go into all the details later, but for now we’re just completely wrapped up in the sweetest little love bubble 🤍—after two long days of an induction that started at zero, our hearts are fuller than we ever imagined.
We are completely, overwhelmingly in love.
Soaking in every second as a family of three. Scott Pearson and I have never felt love like this ✨

One month with our sweet Aria 🤍
One month as the Pearsons.
Life changed forever the moment she arrived — our hearts are fuller, our sleep is nonexistent, and we’ve never been more in love. So tired, so emotional, and so completely obsessed with our girl. ✨👶🏼
We can’t wait to see what this little spitfire brings and all the months to come 🤍

Vlog 2: Aria’s arrival 🤍
What started as a routine 38 week appointment turned into “you’re being induced today.” High blood pressure sent us to NYU Langone for monitoring… and then straight into the most expensive room in NYC lol.
36 hours, zero dilation to go-time. Cervidil, Foley balloon (never again), Pitocin up and down, epidural drama, no sleep, lots of repositioning, and Scott witnessing some truly feral sounds from me 🫠
And then…
April 9th, 2:01am
9 pushes later, our girl arrived.
Aria Grace 💖
The moment was magic. The aftermath? Hard. Exhausting. Emotional. Between a long epidural, feeding struggles, jaundice + bili lights, and praying we could take her home… it was a lot.
I’m completely in love with Aria… and somehow fell even more in love with my husband—now the most amazing dad—Scott. Our family feels complete. 🤍
I’ll share more, but truly—no amount of prep can predict your birth story. Every single one is its own wild ride.
Life changing. Beautiful. And yeah… really freaking hard.

We worked really hard to make a sterile hospital room feel warm and inviting! I had to laugh last night when I was able to CLEARLY see our hospital room from the street below. “One of these things is not like the other!” 😆😎 #lightingiseverything #babyaria
Four weeks pregnant in Aruba, living my best island life… completely unaware I already had a tiny travel buddy with me 😂🌴
I casually brought a pregnancy test “just in case” (because… optimism 😅). Took it one morning before an epic jeep/snorkel day and—plot twist!!! Baby Aria said “surprise, I’m coming too” 💕
Ran straight back and woke Scott up with the positive test like “ummm good morning???” 😂 best wake-up call ever.
Meanwhile I was over there sipping all the piña coladas 🍹… whoops 😅 no wonder this girl is going to come out with a taste for island life already 😂
Fast forward to 38 weeks and I’m somehow squeezing into the SAME swimsuit 🤣 well…kinda!!! Hahaha!
Now Aruba isn’t just a vacation spot—it’s where her story started. 🌊✨ Can’t wait to bring her back one day so she can see where she made her grand (very tiny) debut. Counting down the days until we meet our sweet girl 🤍

First hospital trip… and we got sent home with no baby 😂
Got flagged for elevated blood pressure yesterday, so we packed the car like “this might be it 👀” and headed in for monitoring. Plot twist: everything calmed down, test results improved, and baby said “not today.”
So naturally we celebrated our ✨false alarm✨ with burgers and fancy non-alcoholic cocktails 🍔🍹
First practice run = success. Bags packed, nerves tested, snacks secured. Next time… we’re expecting a plus one 👶🏼

Happy trails to my partner in crime 💫
From the very first workshop of Death Becomes Her to now, we’ve truly been through it all. This video of us singing “Alive Forever” in Philly feels especially full circle 🖤
I am endlessly grateful to have had you by my side—so talented, so professional, and so deeply kind and thoughtful. Not just my understudy sister, but my actual neighbor (what are the odds?) 🤍
Congratulations on everything you’ve accomplished in this show and on your next adventure with Schmigadoon and beyond—so well deserved.
So sad to miss your final bow, but grateful I’ll still see you in the hallway 😉

I’ve been thinking about something lately—and wanted to share… because that’s what social media is for, right?
At 36 weeks pregnant, getting so close to meeting my daughter, everything feels very real.
I was told recently that “being a mother will be the most important thing you ever do.”
And I know that’s meant to sound beautiful.
But if I’m honest, it scared me.
Because I don’t believe my life—or my identity—should collapse into one role the moment my daughter arrives.
I’m becoming a mother, yes.
But I am not becoming only a mother.
I’m still an artist.
A partner.
A friend.
A woman with ambition, creativity, opinions, and a voice that existed long before this chapter.
There’s a word I’ve been holding onto: matrescence.
The transformation into motherhood.
Not an erasure—an expansion.
And I think part of why that comment stayed with me is because, if I’m being really honest, I am a little afraid of getting lost in it.
I already love my daughter more than I knew was possible.
But I also love the life I’ve built, the work I do, the person I’ve become.
And I want to be a role model for her.
I want her to grow up seeing that she can be anything in this world—that she is more than any one role she steps into.
So I have to live that truth, too.
I don’t want to disappear into motherhood to prove how much I love her.
I want to grow alongside it.
A woman can be a mother—
and still be many, many other things.
That doesn’t make her less devoted.
It makes her whole.
I’m also writing this for other women—mothers or those who want to be.
Especially in this industry, where it can feel like your life is over the moment you get pregnant or have a baby.
But that just isn’t true.

Our hearts are so full! 💕
The biggest thank you to Eric and Kelley (soon-to-be Aunt & Uncle 🥰) for hosting the most beautiful baby shower for Aria Grace at Hyde Park Prime Steakhouse. It was truly such a special day!
And thank you to our incredible family for showering us with so much love and laughter. Aria and her mom and dad (me and Scott) feel beyond lucky and so blessed to have the sweetest village surrounding us.
We can’t wait for Aria to grow up knowing just how loved she is already 💕✨
