Back in January, Baz revealed the exciting news that she was pregnant, sharing a photo of herself and her growing belly on Instagram.

Sipping from a coconut while laying on a reclining chair on the beach, Baz wore black sunglasses and a black two-piece bathing suit, posing for the camera.

"@willett put his lime in my coconut 🍋🥥👶🏼‼️" she joked in the captioning, tagging her husband.

Baz and her husband tied the knot in 2017, sharing a photo from their wedding on Instagram six months later. "Six months ago today we vowed to never stop kissing," she wrote in her caption. "Think we're nailing it."

Last July, Baz, who released her second cookbook More Is More in 2023, shared photos of their Los Angeles home, which was designed by Willett. Standing in the entry way of their living room with their dog, the creative couple posed for the camera as they posted glimpses of their home.

"Captured in my favorite place 🏠 with my favorite husband 👨🏻‍🦱and my favorite sausage 🌭 by the inimitable @justinchung," the chef captioned her post.
