Waylon still carries the pressure of carrying on the Higgins name and I personally am overwhelmed with joy to be experiencing it all!” He further added that their second daughter, referred to as “Higgins girl number 2,” is expected to arrive towards the end of the year.

Jessica Clarke also conveyed the news through her own Instagram account, showcasing images of their family by the water. Her caption read, “Baby girl #2 is making her debut this holiday season 🩷,” capturing the anticipation surrounding the new addition to their family.

The couple has been enjoying the early stages of parenthood since the birth of Winona, who has brought immense joy into their lives. In their initial announcement regarding their first child, Higgins shared an emotional post that illustrated the deep love he possesses for both Clarke and their newborn daughter. The post featured a poignant image of Higgins gazing at Winona, while Clarke cradled their baby in a hospital bed.

Following Winona’s birth, Higgins took to Instagram to share an array of photos introducing their daughter to their followers. He expressed his overwhelming emotions, stating, “First, I did not realise I could be more in love and more impressed with @jessclarke_ but after the last 48 hours my heart has exploded for her and our new baby girl.” He also mentioned the specifics of Winona’s arrival, noting that she was born at 2:53 am on February 12.

In his emotional statement, Higgins reflected on his newfound role as a father, stating, “Words still are hard for me, I won’t accurately articulate what just happened.” He conveyed a sense of gratitude, reminding himself of the blessings in his life as he looked over at his wife and daughter. “Life starts again for us, a new chapter we enter into, and so many moments of lacking the words but feeling God inspired love,” he concluded.

As the couple prepares for their second daughter’s arrival, fans and followers are eagerly awaiting further updates from the family. The joy radiating from both Ben and Jessica highlights the excitement of welcoming a new member into their family and the cherished moments that lay ahead.

With the addition of another daughter, the Higgins family is set to embark on another chapter filled with laughter, love, and a growing bond that will continue to flourish as they navigate parenthood together.
