In a heartfelt Instagram post, Gibbs gave followers a glimpse into their experience at the hospital. Reflecting on the intensity of the day their son was born, he remarked, “That day terrified us both, completely dividing our lives into ‘before’ and ‘after’.” He expressed that the mixture of emotions surrounding the birth experience was overwhelming, stating, “People try to describe it, but you never truly understand that overwhelming mix of anxiety, love, fear, and anticipation until you live it yourself.”
The couple revealed that their journey was not without challenges, as Gibbs shared the arduous nature of the labour process, which lasted an exhausting 24 hours. Despite the difficulties, he expressed gratitude that both Julia and their newborn son are doing well, with her now resting and recovering after the delivery. He complemented his wife’s strength, asserting, “Having witnessed this firsthand, all I can say is: women, you are incredibly strong.”
In the comments section of the post, Trubkina addressed the sparse updates about their new arrival, saying they chose not to engage extensively with the public on this aspect of their lives due to the negativity they have encountered. “The reason we didn’t want to make posts, and we also refused to film, is because people are terribly envious and mean!” she explained, thanking their supporters for their kindness and positivity.
The couple had first announced their pregnancy in August, sharing the news exclusively with PEOPLE. They described feeling “thrilled” about stepping into this new chapter as parents, calling the experience both exciting and a little surreal. “Big news, we’re expecting! Thank you all for the love and support,” they shared, indicating their eagerness to share their parenting journey with their audience.
Julia and Brandon first crossed paths during Season 8 of “90 Day Fiancé.” Their relationship progressed through various spin-offs, including “90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?”, “90 Day Diaries,” and “90 Day: The Last Resort.” Viewers have been privy to their experiences since Julia moved from Russia to the Gibbs’ family farm in Virginia, a transition that was not without its challenges. Nevertheless, the couple’s bond remained resilient through this journey.
Following their wedding in April 2020, Trubkina and Gibbs faced various hurdles, from personal challenges to adapting to life in a new country. They have shared snippets of their life together through social media, including a light-hearted moment captured in January 2022 where Trubkina posted a fun video of the family dancing, complete with a playful mention of Brandon’s stumble during the dance.
Since then, the couple seems to have settled into a space of their own, navigating the complexities of life together. Reflecting on their relationship in 2022, Julia shared a post on Instagram expressing that the difficulties they faced served only to strengthen their bond. “Our year began with obstacles,” she recounted, “but we are together, and everything will be fine.”
As they embark on this new chapter as parents, Julia Trubkina and Brandon Gibbs are sure to continue sharing their experiences with their followers. Their journey exemplifies the realities of love, growth, and the challenges that come with building a family, resonating with many fans who have supported them through their ups and downs.
