They announced that Lucia was on the way on New Year's Eve 2020, telling fans: "Welcoming Baby #2 in 2020! Happy New Year from our wild & growing bunch."

As they announced the happy arrival of little Lucia, the couple urged loved ones to send gifts to the less fortunate amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

"Quarantine may have canceled [Lucia's] Baby Shower but it didn't stop us from collecting and delivering essential supplies to #YesWeCanMobileSchools - spaces for moms and children at the border to learn, play, and stay safe through these hard times," America wrote.
