For instance, on 26 April 2021, she shared a pregnancy picture on Instagram and captioned it on her mutual relationship with her husband. 

She said, "During pregnancy, mumma needs to sleep on her left side. Obv we can't sleep on our tummy and squish the baby, nor can we sleep on our backs because the baby squishes our organs and it restricts oxygen/blood flow, and the same can apply for the right side because of a major artery. So it's months and months of the same sleeping position."

After that, she added how her spouse has been helping her sleep, "There have been times lately where I wake up during the night to @angelguillen25 gently rolling me onto my side because I've ended up on my back. And when it happens, I smile. Thoughtful little gestures of care like that are more romantic than any bouquet of flowers could ever be. He's already an amazing father."

Then on 7 June, during the 37 weeks of pregnancy, she shared that she could not wait for the baby to be on her side of the earth. Eventually, Bodhi Angel Guillen was born on 8 July 2021, and she revealed that they named him Bodhi after the wisdom tree.
