It only took one innocent-looking Instagram post to send the internet into a full-blown frenzy. When Sofia Pernas shared a cozy, softly lit photo that appeared to include baby-themed details in the background, fans immediately jumped to one dramatic conclusion: Justin Hartley and Sofia Pernas are having a child together. Within minutes, comments flooded in with congratulations, heart emojis, and the same burning question—“Is this a pregnancy announcement?”
But here’s where things get interesting… and where the rumor starts to unravel.
The photo itself was subtle. No caption saying “We’re expecting.” No baby bump reveal. No official announcement. Just a warm, domestic moment that some fans interpreted as a hidden message. Zoom-ins began. People analyzed every object in the frame. A soft toy. A pastel color palette. A blurred corner that might be a crib. And just like that, the speculation took off.
This is how Hollywood baby rumors are born.
Justin Hartley and Sofia Pernas have always kept their private life exactly that—private. Since getting married, they’ve shared affectionate moments but rarely overshared. No constant couple content. No PR-style relationship updates. So when anything remotely “family-coded” appears online, fans are quick to read between the lines.
But sources close to the couple say there is no confirmed pregnancy and no official announcement planned at this time.
In other words: the internet ran way ahead of the facts.
One insider described the situation as “classic fan imagination,” saying the photo wasn’t meant to signal anything beyond a quiet personal moment. Another added, “They’re aware of the rumors, but they’re not reacting because there’s nothing to confirm.”
Still, that hasn’t stopped the fandom from spiraling.
Some fans are convinced the couple is hiding big news. Others think the photo was just a coincidence blown out of proportion. And then there’s the third group—the skeptics—who are reminding everyone that not every soft-toned photo equals a baby announcement.
What makes this rumor stickier than usual is the emotional investment fans have in Hartley’s life. After years of watching him as a devoted on-screen father and partner, many people want to see him take that step in real life again. So the idea of a baby feels like a natural next chapter, whether it’s true or not.
But until Justin Hartley or Sofia Pernas say the words themselves, it remains exactly what it is right now:
👉 A fan-fueled theory.
👉 Not a confirmed reality.
In today’s celebrity culture, a single image can create an entire storyline that doesn’t actually exist. And while it’s fun to speculate, it’s also a reminder of how quickly private lives get turned into public narratives.
For now, there is no official baby announcement.
No confirmation.
No statement.
Just one photo… and a very loud internet.
So the real question isn’t “Are they having a baby?”
It’s “How did one Instagram post convince half the fandom that they are?”
And until Justin and Sofia decide to share something real, that question will stay exactly where it belongs—in the rumor zone. 👶✨
