The Joseph household is about to get a whole lot louder. TikTok dads Terrell and Jarius Joseph, who have built a devoted following by sharing their journey through LGBTQ+ parenting, are expecting their fourth child. The couple exclusively announced the news, revealing their newest addition is due in December.
The Terrell and Jarius Joseph baby announcement arrives nearly a decade after the couple first dreamed of becoming parents. Now, they are preparing to become a family of six, joining daughters Aria Brielle, 3, and Aspen Noelle, 8, and son Ashton Cole, 8.
The couple wanted their final pregnancy announcement to feel special for their three children. After watching an advanced screening of Toy Story 5, they planned a scavenger hunt throughout their home. The story has “always held a special place in our hearts,” the couple said.
The hunt ended with the family in front of a chest filled with Toy Story toys, where a letter board read: “A new toy is coming December 2026.” The moment was captured in photos shared exclusively with PEOPLE, showing the children playing with Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and Jessie alongside their fathers.
The news carries deep emotional weight for the couple, who have been open about their journey to parenthood. “When we first started talking about having children, we weren’t thinking about a large family,” they shared. “We were simply hoping for the chance to become dads.” This fourth child will be their last, making the milestone “bittersweet” as it marks the final time they will “prepare to welcome a newborn into our home”.
This Father’s Day holds special meaning for the family. Nearly a decade ago, the couple was just hoping for the chance to be parents. Today, they are preparing for their fourth child. “We’ll celebrate the same way we always do, surrounded by the family we once only dreamed about,” they said.
For Terrell and Jarius Joseph, the journey from dreaming of fatherhood to building a family of six has been extraordinary. As they prepare to welcome their final child this December, they continue to inspire millions with their story of love, resilience, and the beautiful chaos of a full house.
