After making this announcement, Karina spoke to People and expressed how thrilled she was to embark on this new phase of life. “I’m super excited to start this new chapter,” she said. “I’ve always dreamed of becoming a mom. There’s a whirlwind of emotions I’m experiencing right now—nervousness, excitement, pure happiness, and even a bit of being overwhelmed. But it’s all part of the beautiful journey.”
Support from Loved Ones
Karina also shared how much she’s appreciated the incredible support she’s received from her friends and family throughout her pregnancy. “Everyone has been so supportive, offering so much advice and encouragement,” she gushed. “I’m doing my best to keep up with it all, but I’m truly grateful for the gift I’ve been given. I can’t wait to step into my role as a mother.”
Who’s the Lucky Dad?
While Karina hasn’t revealed the identity of the father just yet, she’s had her fair share of high-profile relationships. She was once engaged to actor Jason Adelman, but they called off their wedding in March 2015. Before that, she was engaged to Maksim Chmerkovskiy and baseball star Brad Penny. Although these relationships didn’t work out, Karina remains optimistic about finding her soulmate.

Back in April 2013, she told Hudson Mod, “I still believe in love. I still hold onto the fairy tale, even after everything I’ve been through. While the wedding aspect isn’t a must for me anymore—though I’d love one—I just want someone special in my life. And, of course, kids.”
We couldn’t be more thrilled for you, Karina. Congratulations on this beautiful new chapter in your life. Here’s to enjoying every moment with your new baby boy!
