KellyAnne Judd may have surprised some fans and The Challenge cast members with her recent reveal.
The OG competitor, who debuted on The Real World: Sydney, returned for several All Stars and World Championship spinoffs, as well as Season 40 of MTV’s flagship show.
Her time on the 40th season, Battle of the Eras, was shortlived, as she got eliminated quickly in just the second episode by Cara Maria Sorbello.
That was weeks ago. While KellyAnne has been relatively quiet about The Challenge, she just shared a brand-new image showing her kissing her husband on the cheek.
The most noticeable aspect is her bare baby bump, showing in front of a beautiful scene in Ponte Vedra, Florida.
Many fans and even some of her castmates may have been unaware of her pregnancy until now, and reacted to the news.
Stars from The Challenge reacted to KellyAnne’s big news
As of this writing, KellyAnne’s IG post had tallied over 2,500 likes and many comments from fans and friends.
Some of those friends are from The Challenge community, including KellyAnne’s recent castmates.
“I knew you’d be the cutest pregnant woman ever,” Jonna Mannion wrote, seeming to indicate she knew for a while.
Other castmates seemed to have just learned about the news, including “Killa” Kam Williams.
“Congrats 😍😍😍,” she wrote, while former Challenger Cara Zavaleta wrote, “CONGRATULATIONS, Mama!!!❤️❤️❤️”
“Look at you guys😍 precious ❤️,” Tori Deal commented.
“You’re so darn cuteeee 😍 Awww look at the baby bump 🥹✨,” wrote Amber Borzotra.
Viewers saw KellyAnne appear on The Challenge: All Stars 5, aka Rivals, where she teamed up with rival Sylvia Elsrode. They unfortunately lost to Adam Larson and Steve Meinke in an Episode 3 elimination.
During their post-elimination remarks, they mentioned how they’d become better acquaintences during their time on the show. KellyAnne and Sylvia also bonded over the fact they were each getting married a week apart.
KellyAnne and husband revealed they are expecting their first child
KellyAnne first shared the exciting news about her pregnancy back in late April.
On X, formerly known as Twitter, the gossip account @MTVexposed shared that she was “13 weeks pregnant” and a photo of a sonogram.
“Yes she issssss 😻😻😻😻,” her Season 40 castmate Emily Schromm replied to the X post.
For those wondering when KellyAnne tied the knot, People exclusively reported that occurred in September 2024.
She married her partner of six years, Max Alpert, in what was called a “fairytale wedding” for the reality TV star.
Reportedly, 140 guests attended the special ceremony which took place in The Holly Farm in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California.
Now the couple is welcoming their first child. In addition to KellyAnne expecting, so are several of her Season 40 castmates.
As TeaonTV reported earlier this month, Olivia Kaiser and Theo Campbell shared they are expecting their first child later this year.
The Challege: Vets & New Threats premieres Wednesday, July 30, at 8/7c on MTV.
