"Doing a little research with @impbrown," she announced. "Coming this winter… #BabyGirlBrown."

A year prior, the Nashville alum opened up about suffering a miscarriage in an essay for Huffington Post

"Believe me, I would much rather be writing about how much I love pizza and fanny packs," Benanti shared. "But the loneliness and isolation I've experienced in dealing with my miscarriage have given me a deep empathy and gratitude for the women who have opened up to me about their own painful stories."

Benanti and Brown tied the knot in 2015.

Congratulations, you two!
