Congratulations are in order for Anneliese van der Pol, best known for her role as Chelsea Daniels in Disney Channel’s That’s So Raven and Raven’s Home. The actress is pregnant with her first child, a baby girl, due this October.
Van der Pol and her husband, Johnno Wilson, confirmed the joyous news to People magazine. The couple discovered the gender during a memorable reveal where Wilson hit a golf ball that burst into pink powder.
“We’re having a girl! I have two sisters and I could not be happier to bring another girl into the sisterhood,” van der Pol shared with the publication.
She admitted, “I didn’t realize how much I wanted a girl until he swung and it went pink. Of course, you just want a healthy child, and a boy would’ve been exciting too, but there’s something about a girl in this time that I’m just so proud of.”
The excited mom-to-be already has aspirations for the kind of woman she hopes to raise.
“I don’t want her to be a performer or care if she’s a doctor…but she WILL be a feminist,” she shared
Van der Pol also expressed gratitude for the “wonderful” pregnancy experience so far, despite acknowledging that the symptoms and cravings have been “real.”
The couple’s love story began on the set of Raven’s Home, where they met and started dating in 2019. Wilson proposed in December 2023, and the pair later eloped, officially tying the knot in Santa Barbara, California, on 11 December 2024.
