Audrey’s Journey to Motherhood

In April 2025, months before the birth, Audrey announced her pregnancy in an exclusive interview. She described the news as a profound blessing: “We are beyond joyful and deeply grateful to God for this incredible blessing,” she said, adding she was “honored to step into motherhood and embrace everything that comes with it.”

Audrey’s sister, Olivia (21), chimed in with anticipation, saying she “could not be more excited” and is looking forward to the baby becoming her “new bestie.”

Audrey also acknowledged the strength of her family network in her journey: she expressed confidence that “John, the baby, and me” would be surrounded by “endless love and support” from their close-knit family.

Looking Ahead

Now, with her son’s birth, Audrey says she is stepping fully into her new role. Friends close to the family describe her as “radiant” and ready to embrace motherhood with the same faith and determination that her mother has long modeled.

For the Evans-Headley family, little John’s arrival is not just a milestone, it is the beginning of a new chapter filled with faith, love, and joy.
