Could Mel and Jack’s Honeymoon Hide a Pregnancy Reveal?
Virgin River is headed somewhere it’s never been before — literally. As Netflix’s beloved small-town drama wraps production in Vancouver and sets its sights on Yucatán, Mexico, fan theories are heating up like the tropical sun. Could a romantic honeymoon be on the horizon? Or is there a bigger twist brewing for Mel and Jack?
A Major Shift for Virgin River
For six seasons, Virgin River has been filmed exclusively in the Canadian province of British Columbia. But a recent location change — confirmed by behind-the-scenes updates — has taken the cast and crew to Mexico for the first time. And with the season six finale ending in matrimonial bliss for Mel Monroe (Alexandra Breckenridge) and Jack Sheridan (Martin Henderson), fans think they know why.
The likely reason? A long-awaited honeymoon.
Alexandra Breckenridge recently added fuel to the fire when she shared a sun-soaked photo on her Instagram Story. The snapshot showed her hair in a casual ponytail, cocktail in hand, and a lush tropical backdrop behind her. Her cheeky caption — “What did you do with YOUR weekend?” — sent the fanbase into detective mode.
But the real stir began when another on-set photo surfaced, showing Breckenridge in what appeared to be a red bathing suit and a breezy floral wrap skirt. Suddenly, fans weren’t just speculating about palm trees and romantic getaways — they were asking: Is Mel pregnant again?
“Does that look like a baby bump?” one eagle-eyed viewer posted, sparking a heated Reddit thread.
Season 6 Recap: Love, Loss & a New Beginning
The season six finale gave fans the emotional payoff they’d been waiting years for: Jack and Mel finally said “I do.” After seasons of heartbreak, healing, and hopeful reconnections, their wedding was a grand affair attended by the entire town.
“I thought it was going to be quite small and intimate by a riverside somewhere,” Alexandra shared with Netflix’s Tudum. “[But it was a] huge wedding.”
Despite their joy, Mel and Jack’s journey to parenthood has been marked by pain. Mel’s devastating miscarriage in season five — and her decision to step away from trying to conceive again — added emotional depth to the couple’s story. But season six hinted at a different kind of hope.
In the finale, a patient approached Mel and offered her unborn child for adoption — a gesture that moved the couple deeply.
“Out of that is born this idea that they can still have their dream,” Martin Henderson told Tudum, “but it just might look a little different.”
Could that dream include a surprise pregnancy after all? Fans are torn — and intrigued.
What’s Next for Virgin River?
Virgin River Season 7 is expected to premiere in late 2025 or early 2026, and the Mexico shoot has already sparked rumors of fresh storylines, big character shifts, and tropical drama. With fertility and family always at the heart of the series, it wouldn’t be surprising if the next chapter reopens Mel and Jack’s baby journey — in more ways than one.
For now, Netflix has remained tight-lipped on plot details, but as cast sightings, Instagram clues, and behind-the-scenes tidbits keep rolling in, one thing’s clear:
Virgin River’s paradise might be hiding more than palm trees.
