‘Big Brother’ Couple Jessica Graf and Cody Nickson Welcome 5th Daughter Together, His 6th

Big Brother couple Jessica Graf and Cody Nickson officially have six daughters — and their hands full.

Graf, 34, and Nickson, 40, announced via Instagram on Sunday, October 12, that they welcomed daughter Italia Belle two days prior on Friday, October 10, at 12:48 in the afternoon.

Hours earlier, the couple teased via their respective Instagram Stories that they were en route to the hospital.

“We’re on our way to the hospital,” Graf said in her social media footage. “We’re supposed to be there in one minute, but that’s what happens when this is your fifth baby.”

Shortly after making it to the hospital and delivering baby Italia, Graf confirmed that her little one had arrived — safe and sound.

“OK, I did it!” a Sunday post on her Stories read. “Better later than never.”

Graf and Nickson, who met in the Big Brother house in 2017, announced in April that they were expecting their fifth baby together. (Nickson is also the father of 13-year-old daughter Paisley from a past relationship.)

“🎀 Baby Girl #5!!!!! Coming October 2025 🎀,” Graf wrote via Instagram at the time. “Name suggestions requested because we’re fresh out!”

Graf and Nickson previously welcomed daughters Maverick, Carter, Atlas and Gemma in 2019, 2020, 2022 and 2023, respectively.

“I can honestly say my heart is so full. Our girls are our pride and joy,” Graf exclusively told Us Weekly in August of their growing family life. “We’re all so close, and even when they go to bed or we’re out on date night, we miss them and we’ll just laugh together about things they did that day. Being a mom has been my biggest blessing in life.”

Nickson, for his part, told Us that he’s loved being a girl dad five — and now six — times over.

“God gave us all girls, and I couldn’t be happier,” he quipped. “I just saw something that basically said for every daughter, a father adds five years to his life through a complexity of factors, which means that I will soon have 30 years added to my life. The people that hate me can’t catch a break.”

Graf and Nickson are raising their brood far from the bright lights of Hollywood in Texas.

“It honestly took me years before I began to feel like Texas was home,” Graf admitted to Us earlier this year. “I was pretty skeptical for a while. It’s hard to build a community and deep relationships with people when you work from home and we were starting from scratch, but we started finding our favorite community coffee shops and restaurants, joined a church that truly felt like home and started discovering friends that feel like family.”

Graf and Nickson’s inner circle also extends to their fellow reality TV personalities.

“Hi my perfect little angel baby!!!!!! I can’t wait to love you forever,” Elena Davies, the couple’s former Big Brother housemate, wrote via Instagram comment on Sunday.

Bachelor Nation alums Lauren Luyendyk, Raven Gates and Jade Roper also shared their well wishes for the proud parents.

“Congratulations, @thejessicanickson!!” Roper, 38, wrote in the comments section. “So happy for you and your beautiful family!”
