The Alaskan Bush People family is growing by one!
Reality star Noah Brown, 26, and his wife Rhain, 28, who wed three months ago, are expecting their first child together, People confirms.
"We’ve taken another step in the adventure that is our life together," Noah tells the outlet.
"We didn’t try, and we didn’t not try," he says of the pregnancy. "We figured that we’d just kind of let God and nature take their course and we ended up pregnant."
The baby is due in late spring, which the couple believes to be perfect timing.
"Spring is when the birds have their babies, and the deer have their babies, and the bears and the cougars, so we’re gonna have our baby too," Noah tells People. "We just fit right in with the animals."
The newlyweds said "I do" in Idaho this summer, just days before the new season of Alaskan Bush People premiered.
The Brown family dressed up for the event, admitting it was strange to trade in their usual outdoor gear for formal wear. "I tried on a tux for the first time ever," Noah's brother Gabe said, according to an Alaskan Bush People Instagram post. "That was weird."
When Noah told his mother Ami, who was diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer and given a slim chance of survival, about the pregnancy, she cried. And she wasn't the only family member to get emotional.
"Every last one of the brothers has suddenly become so much more protective. It’s ridiculous. It’s like, my raging hormones have drawn out their testosterone-fueled protectiveness," Rhain tells People. "Everyone’s like, 'Don’t lift anything over your head.' 'Oh, you need a break.' 'How are your feet?' 'Do you need to sit down?' 'Here, let me help you.' I’m like, ‘C’mon!'"
The expecting couple already knows the sex of the baby and have decided on a name, but they're choosing to keep that news private.
"Before we were even married, we had talked about names," Noah tells People. "It was one of the things that we just matched up on perfectly: We knew we wanted three children. But we didn’t know what we’d get, so we set out and we picked three boy names and three girl names."
"Just in case we had all three of one or all three of the other," Rhain adds. "So, we’re ready."
