Erin Krakow's Pregnancy Secret Nearly Leaked on Set

Erin Krakow, a lead actress on the Hallmark series 'When Calls the Heart,' recently shared how her pregnancy cravings almost revealed her secret during the filming of Season 13. Krakow, who married co-star Ben Rosenbaum last summer, announced in November 2025 that they were expecting their first child. She admitted that her intense craving for pickles on various foods was a challenge to keep hidden from cast and crew.

The actress managed to keep her pregnancy under wraps until later in the production schedule for Season 13. This news comes as 'When Calls the Heart' has been renewed for a 14th season and is scheduled for TV in 2026. The show seems to be experiencing a wave of 'baby fever,' with other cast members, including Kevin McGarry and Kayla Wallace, and Chris McNally and Julie Gonzalo, also expecting children.

Regarding her on-screen character, Elizabeth Thornton, Krakow has expressed openness to the possibility of Elizabeth and Nathan having a baby in the future. Currently, the couple are raising Allie and Jack and only recently became romantically involved. Krakow suggested that an engagement might precede any on-screen baby news for Elizabeth and Nathan.
