Congratulations are in order for Grace Mongey and her husband, Chris Gernon. The couple has just announced that they are expecting their third child together. They are already the proud parents to Sienna and Hayden, and now they will add another little one to their brood.
The exciting news was shared on Instagram with a sweet family video on a Wexford beach. The video opens with Grace setting up the camera before stepping back to embrace her son and their two children. She then cradles her growing bump while their eldest child Sienna pulls out ultrasound pictures. The video ends with the family of four beaming at the camera, showcasing the ultrasound scans.
“Oh baby, we can’t wait to meet you,” Grace wrote along with a pregnancy emoji and pink and blue hearts.
The video was set to Mysha Didi’s song I Get To Love You, and it was captioned: “Oh baby, we can’t wait to meet you @chrisgernon”.
The post was met with well-wishes from her friends and followers.
“Ahhh what wonderful news. huge congratulations,” Rosie Connolly wrote.
“The best news so happy for you all!” Louise Cooney commented.
Lauren Arthurs added: “Omggggggg grace!!!!! congratulations guys!!!”
Grace and her husband tied the knot in front of their closest friends and family in the fabulous Virginia Park Lodge nestled in the heart of Co. Cavan in July 2022. The couple originally planned to marry the previous year but were unfortunately unable to do so due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
The Faces By Grace Founder’s Pregnancy Journey
Grace, who is the founder of the popular beauty and lifestyle brand Faces By Grace, shared on her Instagram Stories that she made Chris “drive all the way to Wexford to make that video” as she added: “Couldn’t be happier to share our news”.
On Monday, she admitted that she was “absolutely floored” by the response to her pregnancy announcement.
“It’s so nice to finally say I am pregnant because there’s been so many times not that I’ve gone to say it, but I’ve been conscious most of the summer about making sure there was nothing in frame or I don’t know...
“It’s just been really nice to be able to say it. Thank you all so much. I will never be able to get back to the amount of comments and DMs but I will try my best to read them all and know from the bottom of my heart and Chris’ heart that we appreciate you all so much.
“I did not expect that response at all and we’ve been so excited to share our news.
“I am 14 and half weeks pregnant. I’m due in March and this has been the best pregnancy so far.
“I felt a tiny bit nauseous if I was in the gym or if I ate too much, but other than that it’s been fine. I haven’t even had the tiredness that I had with my previous two pregnancies.”
The 36-year-old explained that her breasts have felt more tender this time around and she’s been instructed to do kegel exercises for her pelvic floor but said that “everything else is perfect”.
“To be able to talk about this freely now is just so nice. I did feel like I was keeping a secret from one of my best friends not being able to tell you all.
“We didn’t find out what we were having with the two previous pregnancies but we’re going to find out with this one. I’m so excited to find out the sex and be able to be organised – like, it will be so much fun.”
The Couple’s Wedding Celebration
Grace and Chris tied the knot in front of their closest friends and family on the grounds of Virginia Park Lodge in Co Cavan on July 22, 2022.
Sharing the first photo of the newlyweds on social media, blushing bride Grace wrote: “Ladies, meet my husband ~ 22/7/22”.
Grace wore an embroidered bohemian gown made from cotton silk from Rue de Seine Bridal worth €3,850. The gorgeous dress featured a butterfly cutaway bodice and a gathered bell sleeve, which she paired with a nude bouquet of roses and some matching flowers in her hair.
The beauty blogger loved her wedding dress so much that she dedicated an entire Instagram post to it, where she showed off the details on its train and wrote: “There she is in all her glory (the dress, not me) I can’t put into words how magical yesterday was. From start to finish the best day of my life!”
And following their nuptials, she paid tribute to her new husband by sharing a sweet photo of them sharing a kiss under a tree.
Captioning the post, she wrote: “It’s always been you, our souls just needed time to catch up with each other! Our paths crossed so often and we never met until we truly both needed each other. I can’t wait to grow old with you Mr Gernon.”
A Family That Grows Together
The couple’s children also had Sienna and Hayden involved in the wedding — with Sienna being a flower girl and Hayden a ring bearer.
The announcement of their third child has been met with overwhelming joy and excitement from fans and fellow influencers. It's a testament to the couple's ability to connect with their audience on a personal level, creating a sense of community and shared joy.
The addition of a third child to the family is sure to be a beautiful and exciting chapter for Grace and Chris, and their fans can’t wait to watch their family grow.
