STORK ALERT! Former DAYS Star Shares Happy News!

Family is everything on a soap opera, especially on Days of Our Lives where baby news is met with tremendous joy — both onscreen and off!

And while her love life with Rafe (Galen Gering) didn’t work out so well, off-screen, the actress who played Blanca is living happily ever after.

Ximena Duque (ex-Blanca) has posted on social media that she’s expecting her second child, the first with her husband, Jay Adkins!

Happy Days
Adkins, an insurance agency guru, is thrilled that his wife is carrying his child. He posted on social media:

“Truly the happiest moment of my life, besides our wedding day. Knowing I will spend the rest of my life with you and Now to be able to share the blessing of raising a child, and helping with @carabiascristan (Duque’s first son) and being a part of an amazing family is a dream come true.”

The father-to-be said even more on the adorable Instagram post, which you can see for yourself below.

Soap Hub extends congratulations to Duque and her family on the upcoming blessed event!
