The new parents first met in 2020 and tied the knot in an outdoor ceremony at The Ecology Center in San Juan Capistrano, California, in March 2022.

Just a year after their first anniversary in April, the couple shared on Instagram they were expecting their first baby.

Wright posted two photos of her and Lococo, 38, embracing her baby bump as they stood amongst flowers at the top of a mountain.

“​​We’re having a baby! So excited to share this beautiful land with them. What a wild and humbling journey pregnancy is, transforming to make space for new life,” she wrote. “Andrew and I can’t wait to meet our baby later this year and become parents 🥹🌈 It feels like they’re coming to say hello in the little rainbow orb across my belly.”
