Emily Ferguson Karlsson announces third pregnancy, baby due in December 2026

Emily Ferguson Karlsson’s latest baby news came wrapped in hockey humor and shared-family symbolism, with a playful reveal that tied her third pregnancy to William Karlsson’s career and a joint shower that put both Ferguson twins in the spotlight at once. The former Bachelor star and the Vegas Golden Knights forward are expecting a baby boy in December 2026, and the couple already have sons Beckham and Maxwell.

The announcement leaned hard into Karlsson’s NHL life, using a mini jersey and a pretend contract-signing setup to present the baby as the family’s “third boy.” That choice did more than make for a clever photo. It gave the reveal a specific, personal shorthand, the kind of detail that lands with fans who know Karlsson as a forward on an 8-year, $47.2 million contract that runs through the 2026-27 season. For Emily, who first appeared on Season 20 of The Bachelor in 2016 and later on Bachelor in Paradise, the post also doubled as a tidy update on a relationship that started after she reportedly sent Karlsson a DM on Instagram in November 2017.

The shower carried the story even further. Emily and her twin sister, Haley Ferguson Palve, celebrated together at the Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas, turning what could have been two separate baby events into one shared milestone. That format changes the whole guest dynamic: instead of two isolated circles, the room becomes a crossover of family, Bachelor Nation regulars, and the kind of friends who know both sisters’ timelines by heart.

The guest list reflected that overlap. Becca Tilley, Kendall Long, and Jade Roper Tolbert reacted enthusiastically online, while Daisy Kent attended and posted from the celebration on her Instagram Story. The shower also highlighted Haley’s own pregnancy, since she and husband Oula Palve are expecting their second child, another daughter, after welcoming daughter Lovi in April 2024. Haley and Oula married in June 2022, the same year Emily married William, which made the Las Vegas gathering feel less like a single party than a two-family checkpoint.

That is what gives this story broader appeal beyond the baby bump reveal. Joint showers work because they turn an intimate announcement into a communal event, one where siblings, spouses, and friends all have a place in the frame. In the Ferguson Karlsson-Palve orbit, the result was a celebration that was as much about family rhythm as it was about an incoming baby boy.
