Ballinger shared the news Monday on Twitter, writing, "I'm Pregnant!" In a YouTube video, Ballinger said she previously experienced a miscarriage earlier this year.

"I'm just so happy. I wanted this so bad. We're so excited. We really were just trying and hoping for this. This is very exciting," Ballinger said of her pregnancy.

"I got pregnant at the beginning of this year and unfortunately, I had a miscarriage and it was one of the most awful I've ever been through, if not the most awful thing I've ever been through," she added.

Ballinger found out in April that she is expecting and is due to give birth in December.

Ballinger and Stocklin married in 2018 and have a 2-year-old son, Flynn Timothy. Ballinger shared a photo with her son on Instagram while celebrating Mother's Day this month.

Ballinger has over 8.5 million subscribers on YouTube. She is also a singer and actress who appeared in the Broadway musical Waitress.
