Bella Robertson Previously Opened Up About Infertility
The happy news comes after Bella and Jacob publicly discussed their struggles to conceive.
During a June 2025 appearance on Sadie‘s WHOA That’s Good podcast, Bella said that doctors had classified what she was experiencing as unexplained infertility.
“At this point, we haven’t figured out what’s going on, but we’ve done everything under the sun,” she said at the time. “We’ve drank all the crazy drinks, and teas and all the things and tried to eat super healthy and take our vitamins and things like that.”
“But we haven’t found any answers, and I think that in not finding answers, we’ve found a lot of faith and a lot of strength in Christ,” Bella added.
She revealed at the time that she and Jacob had been trying to conceive for over three years.
Bella and Jacob tied the knot in June 2021 at her parents’ farm in Louisiana.
