Reality TV fans are in for a treat as the stars of Family Karma, Amrit Kapai and Nicholas Kouchoukos, have announced that they are expecting their first child together. The couple, who exchanged vows in April 2022, shared their excitement with an exclusive to PEOPLE, revealing that their little bundle of joy is due to arrive in November via a surrogate.
Amrit and Nicholas expressed their elation upon receiving the news of the pregnancy, a moment they had eagerly awaited for a long time. The couple shared, “We were elated when we found out that our surrogate is pregnant. It was so surreal to hear the news we had been anticipating for so long. Each of us has wanted to be a father as long as we both can remember.”
The couple, who already share their lives with their dog Theodore, are now looking forward to expanding their family further. Although they have not determined the gender of their baby yet, they have started discussing names that reflect both their cultural backgrounds. Amrit and Nicholas stated, “As for our baby’s first name, we’re going to stay away from traditional American and Indian names, and likely choose something that fuses the two cultures. We’re also leaning towards a shorter name.”
As they navigate through the preparations for parenthood, the expectant couple is enjoying sharing the news with their close circle of family and friends. Their families are overjoyed at the prospect of welcoming their first grandchild, and Amrit and Nicholas are eager to set an example for other LGBTQ+ couples. They shared, “Sharing our big news with close family and friends has felt incredibly joyous — and specifically, sharing the news with both sets of parents who are very eager for their first grandchild.”
Amrit and Nicholas expressed their desire to be advocates for LGBTQ+ parenthood and hope to inspire other same-sex couples with their journey to parenthood. The couple highlighted the importance of representation and diversity in starting a family and expressed their gratitude for the support and encouragement they have received.
The Bravo stars are eagerly anticipating the arrival of their little one, highlighting the significance of becoming parents as a same-sex couple. They shared, “Becoming parents as a same-sex couple is deeply meaningful for us — not only because we’ve dreamed of starting a family, but also because it represents love, resilience and progress. We feel honored to be stepping into this new chapter and can’t wait to share our lives with our child. It means everything to be building our family.”
Their journey into parenthood is a testament to love, acceptance, and the evolving landscape of modern families. As they prepare to embrace this new chapter in their lives, Amrit and Nicholas are filled with anticipation and gratitude for the forthcoming arrival of their little one. Their story serves as an inspiration for others embarking on similar paths to parenthood.
In a world where representation and diversity are increasingly valued, Amrit and Nicholas stand as shining examples of love, resilience, and progress. Their willingness to share their journey with the world reflects a deeper commitment to inclusivity and acceptance within the realm of parenthood. As they embark on this transformative experience, the couple remains steadfast in their dedication to creating a loving and supportive environment for their growing family.
