Ruby Stewart, a singer and model, is anticipating the arrival of her second child, which is expected in August. The 39-year-old announced her pregnancy back in May, sharing the news on Instagram alongside a playful image of her three-year-old son, Otis, visibly puzzled while holding a sonogram.

In this post, Ruby playfully noted, “We couldn’t decide on what to get Otis for his third birthday so we decided a sibling should suffice… baby Kalick #2 coming in early August.” The excitement surrounding her pregnancy has been palpable, with friends and family rallying around her during this special time.
Recently, Ruby celebrated a “baby sprinkle” — a casual gathering designed to honour the upcoming arrival of her second child — which was organised as a surprise by her close friends. The event took place on June 27 and featured a series of heartwarming moments captured in an Instagram clip, set to Nathaniel Rateliff’s touching song “Something Beautiful.” The gathering was meant to be intimate, reflecting Ruby’s appreciation of the close-knit circle she has cultivated.
In her Instagram caption, Ruby expressed her heartfelt gratitude, saying, “Didn’t know my life was missing a Surprise Sprinkle until these ladies threw me one.” She further noted her appreciation for having found such wonderful friends in Austin over the past six years. Ruby added, “It was a perfect send-off into my journey of becoming a mother of two… thank you Ally and Libby for planning a genderless sprinkle, Sophie for the yummy cake, and to all of you who brought a dish… my heart is full… #mothersmilk.”
Ruby’s fiancé, Jake Kalick, also shared in the excitement, taking to his Instagram Stories to celebrate the occasion. On Mother’s Day, he posted an image of Ruby with their toddler son, wishing her a “Happy Mother’s Day.” In another story, he praised her as a “cool soon-to-be mom of two,” sharing the joy of expanding their family.
The announcement of the baby sprinkle and her ongoing pregnancy have drawn plenty of affectionate comments from her loved ones on social media. Family and friends chimed in to offer their congratulations, including Ruby’s sister, Renee Stewart, and her half-sister, Kimberly Stewart, both sharing their support. Alana K. Stewart, the seasoned singer-songwriter and Ruby’s father’s first wife, added a nostalgic touch with her own message: “Congratulations! And I can’t believe Otis is already three!”
As the countdown to August continues, Ruby appears to be cherishing each moment of this journey. With a growing family, she often shares snippets of her life that reveal a unique blend of joy and excitement, balancing her career as an artist with her role as a mother.
While Ruby has maintained her public persona as a model and singer, she has also embraced the joys and challenges of motherhood. Her experiences demonstrate a commitment to her family while also nurturing her creative passions, a balance many modern parents strive to achieve.
As the birth of her second child approaches, Ruby Stewart is poised to embark on a new chapter in her life, one that promises to be filled with love and new adventures. With the support of her fiancé and the robust network of friends she’s built in Austin, she seems ready to face the challenges and delights of expanding her family.
