MTV’s The Challenge alum Derrick Kosinski and his wife, Nicole, have announced they are expecting a daughter, due in September 2026. The couple shared the news on Instagram earlier this month, posting a photo of their son holding ultrasound images and confirming the family will soon add a baby girl.
In a conversation with PEOPLE, the pair said the pregnancy was a welcome next step they had been hoping for, and that the news has been kept intimate within close family circles. They described the reaction at home as joyful, especially among the children.
Nicole, who has experienced early pregnancy symptoms, told PEOPLE the experience has included significant fatigue and bouts of nausea — but that the couple considers the baby a blessing that outweighs the discomforts so far.
Both parents also revealed they already have a name picked out — a choice made years before the birth of their son — but are keeping it private for now.
Who’s in the Kosinski household
The expanding family currently includes their almost 2-year-old son, Maverick, and Derrick’s older son, Derrick Jr., from a previous relationship. The couple said the boys are excited: Maverick often checks his mother’s belly, and the older child is looking forward to becoming a big brother again.
- Parents: Derrick Kosinski and Nicole
- Gender: daughter
- Due date: September 2026

For fans who remember Derrick from competitive reality television, the news underscores a quieter, domestic chapter following his public career. The couple emphasized how meaningful this pregnancy is to their family and asked for privacy while they enjoy these early months.
They did not share additional medical details or public plans for a baby shower, but confirmed they are preparing for another child and are focused on family time as the due date approaches.
