Baby Makes Three
Brewer ended 2025 by marrying her longtime boyfriend, Mark Bauch. Now, the actress is starting 2026 with another milestone.
Brewer and her now husband are expecting their first child. The star made the announcement via Instagram on Valentine’s Day. “We are so excited!!” Brewer captioned a series of black-and-white photos showing off her baby bump.
The actress’s post was immediately flooded with congratulatory posts from her fellow soap stars. “Amazing!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!” wrote former B&B co-star Rena Sofer.
”Congratulations sweet friend!!” Days of Our Lives actress Linsey Godfrey wrote. “Oh, honey. Congratulations ❤️❤️❤️,” replied Beyond the Gates star Karla Mosley. “You need to come to Montana for these photos 😊,” B&B co-star Kimberlin Brown commented.
Fans recently suspected that the actress might be expecting. Onscreen Ivy’s baggy clothes and the camera filming her from the waist up were clues. Now, Brewer’s announcement confirms the fans were correct.
No further details have been given about Brewer’s upcoming bundle of joy. But this is a joyous and exciting time for the actress and her husband.
What Does This Mean For Ivy?
Brewer’s pregnancy has many B&B fans questioning what this means for her character, Ivy. Odds are the pregnancy won’t be written into the show since Ivy isn’t in a relationship. Besides, the jewelry designer is too busy interfering in her niece Electra’s (Laneya Grace) personal life.
After telling Electra about Will (Crew Morrow) and Dylan (Sydney Bullock), Ivy has succeeded in breaking up the couple. Although Will is determined to win Electra back, chances are Ivy’s going to put a stop to it.
Although Ivy’s a good girl, she’s shown off her bad side in the Electra, Will, and Dylan saga. While Ivy might be looking out for Electra’s best interests, her actions could lead to trouble and Ivy’s departure.
With Brewer’s maternity leave coming up in a few months, there’s the question of how the show will explain Ivy’s absence. Perhaps Will gets Ivy sent on an extended business trip or back to Australia? Or maybe Ivy pushes Dylan too far, resulting in tragic consequences. That is, if Dylan turns out to be shady or villainous.
