Big Brother alums Jessica and Cody Nickson just grew their family once again! The fan-favorite reality TV couple announced the arrival of their fifth child — a baby girl named Italia Belle Nickson — and the internet can’t get enough of their sweet news.
A New Little Queen Joins the Family
On Friday, October 10, 2025, Jessica shared the exciting news on Instagram, revealing that baby Italia made her grand entrance weighing 7 lbs., 2 oz. and measuring 19 inches long.
Posting a photo of the newborn, Jessica captioned the image with a playful line:
“A queen is never late… everyone else is simply early 👑✨.”
The post quickly filled up with love from fans and fellow Big Brother alums.
Season 19’s Jade Roper Tolbert commented, “Hi sweet girl!! Congratulations @thejessicanickson!! So happy for you and your beautiful family! ❤️❤️”
Season 23’s Hannah Chaddha added, “Congratulations Jess🎀.”
The Nicksons’ Growing Family
Italia Belle is Jessica and Cody’s fifth child together — and Cody’s sixth. The couple first shared the pregnancy news in April with a joyful Instagram post that read:
“🎀 Baby Girl #5!!!!! Coming October 2025 🎀 Name suggestions requested because we’re fresh out!”
The pair already share four daughters:
Maverick, born March 2019
Carter, born October 2020
Atlas, born July 2022
Gemma, born December 2023
Cody, 40, is also dad to Paisley, 13, from a previous relationship.
At 34, Jessica often shares glimpses of her family life online — from playful moments with her girls to real talks about motherhood — earning her a loyal following of parents who relate to her honesty and humor.
A Love Story Born on Reality TV
Jessica and Cody’s love story began in 2017 when they met as contestants on CBS’s Big Brother. Their chemistry quickly became a highlight of the season, and their connection continued long after the cameras stopped rolling.
The couple tied the knot in 2018 at The Chateau Le Dome at Saddlerock Ranch in Malibu, California, surrounded by fewer than 100 guests.
Shortly after their wedding, they went on to compete — and win — Season 30 of The Amazing Race, cementing themselves as one of reality TV’s ultimate power couples.
Jessica’s Journey Through Motherhood
Jessica has always been candid about her motherhood journey. Before the birth of their daughter Carter in 2020, she opened up to People magazine about the emotional experience of trying to conceive:
“After dozens of negative pregnancy tests, Cody and I finally got the results we wanted! We’re so happy to announce we are officially expecting a new addition to our family this fall.”
She later shared that the full story — from conception to that first doctor’s visit — was documented on her podcast Now What?!, where she talks openly about parenting, relationships, and life after reality TV.
Love and Support from Fans
The Nicksons’ announcement has received an outpouring of love online. Fans have flooded their comment sections with congratulations and heartfelt messages. Many praised the couple for maintaining such a strong family bond while juggling multiple kids — and still managing to share their journey so authentically.
As one fan wrote, “You two are literally family goals. Congratulations on your newest princess!”
A Beautiful Future Ahead
From meeting on national television to raising a bustling household of six kids, Jessica and Cody’s story continues to inspire their followers. Their ability to balance fame, love, and parenthood has made them one of reality TV’s most enduring couples.
With baby Italia Belle Nickson now completing their growing family, it’s safe to say the Nicksons’ home is full of even more love, laughter, and adorable chaos.
Welcome to the world, Italia Belle — the newest little star in one of reality TV’s favorite families.
