The newest part of me that became the best part of me the second we met. Motherhood has been the greatest joy of my life. Happy Mother’s Day 🩵.” Neither the baby’s name nor gender has been disclosed, and inquiries to the couple’s representatives have yet to receive a response.
Wallace and McGarry, who celebrated their marriage in September 2024, initially announced that they were expecting during the festive season in November 2025.

The image radiated happiness and excitement, with a caption revealing their eagerness to welcome their child: “We can’t wait to meet you, baby.”
The couple’s journey together began on the set of popular television series “When Calls the Heart,” where they both joined the cast for its sixth season, filming during the summer of 2018. By 2020, their relationship was confirmed, paving the way to their engagement announced in December 2022, just before Christmas. Their chemistry transcended the screen, allowing them to collaborate on various projects, including Hallmark’s “Feeling Butterflies” in 2022, where Wallace played the lead role of Emily, a butterfly business owner.
In the same year, they were featured together in the Hallmark Channel film “My Grown-Up Christmas List,” which showcased the connection between a journalist and a military man throughout several festive seasons. Not only do the couple excel creatively on screen, but they have also bonded over their shared love of music, further strengthening their relationship.
Adoring their life together beyond their professional commitments, the couple welcomed a dog named Darla into their family, who was introduced to their fans online in March 2024. McGarry previously hinted at the possibility of serenading Wallace at their wedding, citing their mutual appreciation for music as a foundational aspect of their relationship. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, he remarked, “Champagne, I imagine, is being served so … there’s a chance that could happen. And Kayla too. We always play … music together.”
As they embark on the journey of parenthood, fans eagerly anticipate how this new chapter will unfold for the couple. Their wholesome and genuine representation of love and family continues to inspire their followers. With the challenges and joys that come with raising a child, Kayla Wallace and Kevin McGarry’s supporters remain excited to follow along, celebrating the couple’s milestones both as individuals and as a loving family unit.
