Brandon and Julia’s baby timeline explained after 90 Day Fiancé Season 9 Tell All

Brandon Gibbs and Julia Trubkina’s baby timeline became a focal point for viewers after the conclusion of the Season 9 Tell All, raising questions about when the couple learned they were expecting, why the pregnancy was kept private for months, and whether their first child had arrived.

The Season 9 Tell All provided the clearest framework yet for understanding how Brandon and Julia navigated pregnancy while filming, why even their parents were kept in the dark, and why fans should not expect immediate public updates following the baby’s expected due date.

90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? and the pregnancy timeline

Their storyline continued through multiple franchise installments, culminating in their return for Season 9 of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?, where the focus shifted to infertility, emotional strain, and the possibility of starting a family.

She also revealed that no one—neither castmates nor family members—had been told about the pregnancy before that point.

This disclosure established the anchor date for the timeline: the Tell All was filmed when Julia was already well into her second trimester.

Although TLC has not publicly confirmed the exact filming dates of the Tell All, Julia’s own statements and the couple’s later social media activity provide key markers.

Julia and Brandon publicly announced the pregnancy on August 26, when Julia shared a post reading,

“There is so much to say, I will start with this, it is not usual for me, and it is very strange to talk about this, but I have to start.”

Brandon followed with his own message:

“Can’t believe I’m sharing this news. I am excited but nervous as I want to be the best Dad I can be.”

Given Julia’s confirmation that she was six months pregnant during the Tell All and that the announcement came afterward, the Tell All was filmed shortly before August 26.

This aligns with the production schedule typically used for 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?, where Tell All episodes are taped weeks before airing.

Throughout Season 9, Brandon and Julia repeatedly referenced prior miscarriages and fertility struggles.

That context became central during the Tell All, when Julia explained why the pregnancy had been kept private for so long. She said,

“I have a high-risk pregnancy. I never have panic attack, I never have paranoia [like] what I have right now. And every day, I wake up, and I trying to, like, feel kicking. If I feel kicking, I feel it’s alive.”

She also stated that fear of loss prevented her from telling even immediate family members.

The decision not to inform Brandon’s parents, Betty Gibbs and Ron Gibbs, became one of the most emotionally charged moments of the Tell All.

Julia acknowledged the strain in that relationship, saying,

“We have arguments with his mom, and now I doesn’t know what I feel. Me and Betty’s relationship has become a lot.”

When Brandon and Julia eventually revealed the pregnancy to both sets of parents via video call, the reaction shown during the Tell All confirmed that the secrecy was not rooted in conflict but in caution.

Based on the August 26 announcement and Julia’s six-month pregnancy status at the Tell All, the expected due date would fall around December.

The absence of a confirmation has fueled speculation, but Julia has directly addressed why updates have been limited.

In late 2025, she posted about fans crossing boundaries, writing,

“Comments saying that I owe everyone something! I’m receiving a lot of very bad messages, calls from strangers to my hospital trying to find out about my health history! I think it’s time for me to take a break from the internet.”

Days later, she clarified that supportive messages were being received as well, adding,

“This post is for the amazing and kind people who follow us. I truly didn’t realize how many wonderful people there are; I received so many warm messages… that doesn’t mean my story isn’t important to me and my family and I will tell my story for you guys here when we all feel better.”

That boundary-setting also explains Julia’s reaction to fabricated content shared by fan accounts.

On December 6, a fan page posted an edited image of Brandon holding a baby in a Santa costume. In the comments, Julia responded directly, writing,

“When will everyone get tired of photoshopping our pictures?”

The comment confirmed that images circulating online were not evidence of the baby’s arrival.

The Season 9 Tell All ultimately clarified that Brandon and Julia’s baby timeline is not defined by secrecy for drama, but by medical caution shaped by past loss.
