Another little one is coming to the cast of In the City!

Yvonne Najor and Nick Barber, who are engaged, have shared the exciting news that they're expecting their first child together. The announcement came via an Instagram post featuring photos from Najor's baby shower.

"Surprise in the city! Baby Barber arriving in August 2026. Our greatest adventure is about to begin! #BabyBarber," the couple wrote on the social platform.

The pair marked the occasion with a celebration on Saturday, May 30, bringing together an impressive guest list that included their castmates Lindsay Hubbard, Georgina Ferzli, Lexi Sundin, Whitney Fransway, Katie Deluca, and Danielle Oliveira. The event was designed around a Where the Wild Things Are theme. Notably, Oliveira is also expecting her first child with boyfriend Eoin Heavey.

Speaking about their journey to parenthood, Najor and Barber told People: "We're beyond excited to become parents and start this next chapter together. Growing our family is something we've dreamed about for so long, and we feel incredibly lucky to be surrounded by so much love and support as we prepare to welcome our baby."

They also reflected on the decision-making process leading up to the pregnancy. "Becoming parents is such a big step, and like any couple, we've had a lot of conversations about what the right timing looked like for us," they explained. "You'll see some of that journey unfold this season on In the City as we navigated these decisions together, but standing where we are now, we couldn't be more excited for what's ahead."

Najor shared details about the shower's theme, explaining that the playful concept resonated with her vision for their child's future. "It felt nostalgic, whimsical and imaginative – how we want our baby's childhood to feel," she said. "It perfectly matched the energy of the celebration, and honestly matches the energy of our wild friend group."

The expectant mother, who has spent most of her career in hospitality marketing, reflected on how she and Barber met. "Nick and I met at a club called Acme years ago, like most of us millennials in New York City," she noted. "Throwing parties and events is definitely my arena to be wild – but a playful wild, and fun, while still feeling modern and elevated."

Both sets of parents were present for the festivities, with Najor's mother Linda and Barber's mother Bonnie in attendance.

Najor expressed the emotional weight of the day, surrounded by her inner circle. "From my best friends since I was 13, to the friendships I've built in New York, including my BFF Lindsay Hubbard, and of course my castmates – seeing all of my favorite people in one room celebrating this moment with us was incredibly emotional," she shared. "The energy was amazing from beginning to end, and I loved watching everyone just let go, dance on tables, and have fun together."
