The couple – she's straight and he's gay – kept the baby news private for the first month, choosing to shield son’s gender and due date from the public eye.

'The best gift ever'

They revealed in a December 12 interview with People that they have welcomed their first child, a son. The little one arrived in November, just in time for the couple to celebrate their one-year wedding anniversary, which they called 'the best gift ever'. Samantha and Jacob told the magazine, “We had a son! Our son made his appearance in November just in time for us to celebrate our one-year wedding anniversary with the best gift ever.”

They shared that their baby boy was born weighing 7 pounds (3.1 kg) and measured 18.5 inches long. While they are keeping his actual name private, they confirmed they will refer to him publicly by his stage name: Baby Wynn Hoff. The name is a combination of Samantha’s middle name and Jacob’s last name, meant to create their new family name, Wynn Hoff.

Focusing on privacy

Samantha and Jacob, whose relationship grabbed attention for their candid discussions about being a straight woman and a gay man in a committed marriage, shared that they kept the birth entirely private for the first month to enjoy their new life as a family of three.

The two made the conscious decision to keep their son's gender and due date private throughout the pregnancy, explaining that while they share many aspects of their lives on social media, they believe some things are 'worth keeping close to your chest'. They plan to continue sharing their parenting journey while also allowing their child 'to have consent over his identity'.
