Nia Sanchez and Danny Booko are ready to welcome their fourth child together, marking another joyous milestone for the couple. The announcement, which was shared exclusively with Us Weekly on December 26, confirmed claims of pregnancy, which Nia described as "a complete surprise." Having previously aired their experiences with three children under three on their reality show, The Valley, this news adds to the couple's unique and vibrant family dynamic.
"I was shocked, but I knew Daniel would have a full mix of emotions. So I told him on his birthday — exactly one week after I found out," said the 34-year-old model and reality star. Nia noted how unexpected the news was, as she and Danny had originally planned to start trying for another baby by early 2025. "We had a plan. This was a little bit earlier than our plan. But we figured this baby needed to come at a certain time. Just a little earlier than planned," she explained.
Though surprised, Nia expressed excitement about her children's close age gaps. She remarked, "If I’m gonna go through it, we might as well get all these kids out. And then I can get back to being myself." Her sentiments were echoed by Danny, 41, who humorously suggested their family might eventually resemble "a football team". Their playful banter paints the picture of two parents fully engaged and ready for the chaos of raising four little ones.
Currently, the couple is parenting son, 3, and twins Isabelle and Zariah, 18 months. Contrary to their previous struggles described on the show, the couple is embracing this new chapter with humor and love. Nia remarked, “That will be our tagline for season 3.” Sharing the challenges and bliss of parenthood seems to be part of their charm which attracts viewers.
Regarding their fourth child's gender, the couple mentioned they are not rushing to know. "We technically have an email in the inbox. Daniel wants to know, and I’m telling him we have to wait and do it in some special way," said Nia. They are considering holding off on any gender reveals until after the new year, hoping to keep the moment special and private before eventually celebrating with friends and family.
Interestingly, Nia is not the only one expecting within the cast. Fellow The Valley star, Kristen Doute, is also pregnant, anticipating her first child with fiancé Luke Broderick. Nia shared how their parallel journeys have strengthened their bond. “We’ve bonded so much over the last few years,” she said, reflecting on the support each mother has provided the other during her pregnancy.
Nia excitedly recounted how she and Danny broke the news to Doute and Broderick, humorously noting how Kristen initially thought they were celebrating her pregnancy. Their friendship has blossomed over this shared experience, making it even more special as they navigate the pregnancy challenges together.
Looking forward, the couple has yet to decide how to share the news with the rest of The Valley cast. “We haven’t decided how we’re gonna tell them,” said Nia, contemplating capturing the reactions on video during what they plan to frame as a group photo. This playful approach signifies their affection for the joyous chaos their growing family will bring.
With their commitment to raising their children enveloped in love and laughter, Nia and Danny are fully prepared to tackle this exciting new chapter. With the arrival of baby four, they reflect on the blessings of parenthood and look forward to the uniqueness each child will bring to their whirlwind family life.
