6

Hallmark stars Chris McNally and Julie Gonzalo have kept their romance quiet over the years — including the arrival of their first baby.

“Our hearts are full,” Gonzalocaptioned a June 2022 photo of their newborn grabbing both parents’ fingertips. “Welcome baby M ♥️.”

Prior to their surprise baby news, McNally only acknowledged that he had a girlfriend without naming her publicly. However, eagle-eyed followers spotted the same dogs in both Gonzalo and the When Calls the Heart actor‘s Instagram snaps.

“I am mostly focusing on the puppies. My girlfriend and I each adopted a puppy, so I’m looking forward to being home with them when I can,” McNally told My Devotional Thoughts in January 2019.

McNally opened up about his relationship again in May 2019 when he revealed how he romanced Gonzalo with his dance moves after learning choreography on Hallmark’s A Winter Princess. “I waltzed her around the living room,” he told North Shore News. “But she’s South American so now she wants me to learn to Salsa.”

2019

McNally revealed that his favorite camping memory was just a simple night with Gonzalo and their pups.

"It was in Big Bear — the coyotes were howling, which the dogs had never heard before, and they were pretty stressed about it. They were on guard for a couple of minutes, but then the exhaustion of the day took over and both of them curled up on blankets and pillows and fell asleep," he told the Los Angeles Times.

He continued, "It was super cute. Then my girlfriend and I sat out on the front of the tent like it’s a porch. The stars were visible and beautiful, so we just pulled the tent fly back, hung out and had a glass of wine. It was so peaceful, sitting out with our legs dangling like we’re on our own little porch on top of the car, with these two bundled up fast asleep. It was the best."
