Gianna Tulio, Ryan Blaney’s wife, celebrated her pregnancy with a joyful dance to the popular Got Me Good TikTok trend at a friend’s wedding, embracing her baby bump surrounded by matching bridesmaids. This moment comes as anticipation builds for their first child, expected later this year during the NASCAR off-season.
Gianna Tulio Reveals Baby’s Due Date and Pregnancy Experience
Gianna Tulio disclosed the due date of their first child during a recent episode of the podcast Believe in the Good, hosted by Haley Dillon. She shared that their baby is scheduled to arrive on December 6, just days before their first wedding anniversary on December 12. Tulio expressed gratitude that her pregnancy’s timeline falls during NASCAR’s off-season, helping to ease concerns about balancing motherhood and Ryan Blaney’s racing career.
“Our due date right now is December 6th, which is crazy cuz we got married December 12th. So, just 6 days before our anniversary is when the baby’s supposed to come.” —Gianna Tulio
“I’m just honestly grateful that my due date is during the off season, especially since it’s my first pregnancy. I don’t know what to expect. And just having Ryan there with me will help calm a lot of nerves,” she said.
Ryan Blaney echoed this sentiment in an interview before the Chicago Street Race. He explained that the timing of their child’s arrival during winter was fortunate and expected to reduce stress. Hopefully, the offseason will allow them to adjust smoothly to parenthood.
“We’re in the winter, so that takes a lot of stress off. I can’t say we necessarily drew it up that way. Just kind of got fortunate on the timing of it. So hopefully, fingers crossed, it all goes to plan, and we can be kind of settled into the offseason by the time that the little one comes,” he said.
