At the time, Wallace captioned the post: “We can’t wait to meet you, baby,” adding, “Premiering 2026,” alongside a red heart emoji. In the image, she was seen cradling her baby bump while McGarry affectionately held her stomach.
Wallace and McGarry’s love story began on the set of When Calls the Heart, where they met during Season 6 filming in 2018. Their relationship was later confirmed in 2020, and they became engaged in December 2022.
Beyond the long-running series, the pair have also co-starred in several Hallmark Channel productions, including Feeling Butterflies (2022) and My Grown-Up Christmas List, strengthening both their on-screen and off-screen chemistry.
The couple has also shared glimpses of their life together away from the spotlight, including their pet dog Darla, who made her social media debut in 2024.
McGarry has previously spoken about their shared love of music, which he said played a key role in bringing them together, hinting that it could even feature in their wedding celebrations.
