Jacqueline MacInnes Wood Drops Bombshell Pregnancy News: Expecting Baby No. 5 with Husband Elan Ruspoli

Jacqueline MacInnes Wood, the *Bold and the Beautiful* star, has decided that four sons aren’t quite enough chaos for her household, announcing she’s expecting her fifth child. At 37, Wood revealed in her weekly newsletter that she’s nearly seven months pregnant, describing her home as a whirlwind of “love, energy, and anticipation.” Because, of course, adding another toddler to the mix is the logical next step when you already have four boys under the age of seven.
Wood, who shares sons Rise, 6, Lenix, 4, Brando, 2, and Valor, 18 months, with husband Elan Ruspoli, seems to be thriving in her role as a “mama bear.” In a March 2024 interview with *First For Women*, she gushed about how motherhood has made her feel more authentically herself. “I’ve never been more me than I am now,” she said, which is either a testament to her resilience or a subtle cry for help—jury’s still out.
The actress has been prioritizing her health during this pregnancy, emphasizing workouts, protein intake, and creating a peaceful home environment. Because nothing says “peaceful” like a house full of rambunctious boys and a newborn on the way. Wood’s dedication to fitness isn’t just about looking good; it’s about longevity. “I’m working so that when I’m 70, I can keep up with my grandchildren,” she explained. A noble goal, though one wonders if she’ll have the energy to keep up with her own kids by then.
Wood’s journey into motherhood began with her first son, Rise, in 2019. At the time, she told *Entertainment Tonight* that she was both excited and terrified by the prospect of giving so much love to her child. Fast forward five years, and she’s clearly mastered the art of juggling love, chaos, and the occasional moment of sanity.
As Wood prepares to welcome her fifth child, one can’t help but marvel at her ability to balance a thriving acting career, a bustling household, and now, another tiny human. Whether she’s a superhero or just really good at caffeine management, her announcement has left fans both impressed and slightly exhausted on her behalf.
And so, the Wood-Ruspoli household prepares for its next chapter: more diapers, more laughter, and undoubtedly, more chaos. May the odds be ever in their favor.
