David Henrie‘s family has a new addition!
On Thursday (September 3), the 37-year-old Wizards Beyond Waverly Place actor and wife Maria Cahill announced the birth of their fourth child, a son named Peter.
While sharing the exciting news, Maria, 35, called Peter their “rainbow” baby, born following the loss of a previous pregnancy in Maria’s second trimester. The baby they lost was a girl, whom they named Isabel.
“Hi guys! Maria here. David graciously let me take over his phone to write our ‘baby is finally here’ announcement post,” Maria wrote on David‘s Instagram. “Peter Henrie was born September 2nd, taking his own sweet time, a week late, at a whopping 10lbs 4oz. God bless a woman’s pelvis. Truly.”
“Peter is our rainbow baby. This topic is very meaningful to me because while we talk a lot about rainbow babies, rarely do we see the actual reality of both sides of that rainbow,” she continued. “November of 2023, we buried Isabel. I lost her in my second trimester to a bacteria in severe food poisoning that was literally the most traumatic experience of my life: home alone, kids asleep in the rooms next door, David on a flight. Complete nightmare fuel for the next three years. This birth has been nothing short of redemptive for our family, especially our kids who prayed every single day quite directly and (slightly) morbidly ‘that Peter doesn’t die.’ We are so immensely grateful that he’s here.”
After the pregnancy loss in 2023, Maria said she experienced infertility struggles before getting pregnant with Peter.
“A lot of primary, secondary and unexplained types of infertility journeys are silent, unseen and lonely for the countless women who experience them,” she wrote. “Women, for example, who are asked ‘when are you having kids’ when all they want is nothing more but don’t want/feel the need to explain to someone the entire story.”
Maria concluded her message by sharing a heartfelt message of support for women navigating infertility and pregnancy challenges.
“Thinking of you women today – your stories, like mine, are not defined by these struggles or by the amount of kids we can or can’t have,” she wrote. “September 2nd was a massive day of redemption for our family, and we praying today specifically for all you who are looking for your own redemptive birth, whatever that looks like for your family. Sending you a big hug.”
David and Maria – who have been married since 2017 – are also parents to daughters Pia, 7, and Gemma, 4, along with 5-year-old son James.
