Lunden Stallings and Olivia Bennett Stallings are embarking on their motherhood journey hand-in-hand, three years after their lavish wedding, famously known as the "royal wedding of lesbian TikTok." The couple announced their impending arrival of their first child, expressing their unwavering love and willingness to navigate any challenge for the sake of motherhood.
In a heartfelt Instagram post on May 10, the 29-year-olds wrote, "There are paths we didn't choose, waters we'd never swim in, and heartbreaks we'd never bear. But for the chance to be mothers, we'd walk, swim, and endure anything and more." They also revealed the gender of their baby, adding, "Your mamas love you, baby girl. A very grateful Mother's Day."
Since sharing their pregnancy news, both Lunden and Olivia have given glimpses into their emotional fertility journey, including clips of their hormonal injections as part of their IVF process. Lunden wrote on their joint TikTok on May 19, "Throughout our fertility journey, there have been losses, defeats, and struggles. Yet [Olivia] always found a reason to smile."
While the couple is elated to grow their family, Olivia has been vocal about the difficulties she's faced throughout her pregnancy. On May 13, she said, "The first trimester completely took me out. I knew I could be sick, but I didn't know it would affect my mental health as much as it did. I was so sad and wasn't doing anything I liked."
Now, though, Olivia admits she is beginning to "find my groove" again and is getting back into her favorite hobbies, like needlepoint. "Day by day, I'm starting to feel a little better, and I'm just starting to get back into a good head space," she continued. "I'm trying to get back into the things I love, and I think this is a really good place to start."
Plus, Olivia and Lunden are embracing the joys of nesting, writing alongside a May 17 TikTok of them building a baby crib, "Doing things we used to dream of is such a magical feeling."
The pair tied the knot in Roswell, Ga., in 2023. However, just days later, they faced backlash when Lunden's past racist tweets surfaced, leading her to apologize for the behavior, saying she was "completely and utterly disgusted and ashamed."
