Molly Baz announced her second pregnancy in a playful Instagram video featuring her kitchen assistants
The chef welcomed her first child, a son named Gio, with her husband Ben Willett in 2024
Her fans rushed to congratulate her with some saying the news made them “so happy”
Molly Baz has announced that she’s pregnant with baby No. 2!
The celebrity chef, 38, revealed the exciting news to her 881,000 Instagram followers in a clip uploaded on Sunday, June 22.
Baz played a game to see who out of her two kitchen assistants, Sophia and Nora, know her better, asking them questions such as: “What was my favorite way to drink milk as a kid?” and “Worst kitchen injury to date?”
She then asked: “What is one secret the rest of the world doesn’t know about me?” to which Sophia wrote on her whiteboard: “Ur pregnant, baby #2 bitchez.”

Baz, who is married to designer Ben Willett, then yelled: “Yeahhh! We’ve got a baby on the way!” She then showed her followers her growing baby bump.
Her fans were overjoyed by the announcement, with one writing: “Congratulations! Sooo happy for your family ❤️😘.” Another one said: “This made me so happy,” while a third commented: “Awwwww adorable announcement!! Congrats!!”
Baz did not reveal the baby’s sex or her due date. She welcomed her first child — a baby boy — with Willett in June 2024.
She announced the birth to her followers in a sweet photo, showing her baby resting in a blanket and on a pillow in the grass, while sticking one arm straight up. “We did it, Gio!” the cookbook author wrote in the caption, revealing her son’s name.
She adorably refers to him as her sous chef and calls him by his nickname, “Boots.”
In an Instagram post with Gap on May 10, Baz said of Gio: “He can barely talk, but he’s already cooking. The fundamental thing he learned first was how to season his food.”
She added: “Becoming a mother reorganized the way I think about food. It snapped me into this mode of getting stuff done.”

The chef admitted that since becoming a mother two years ago, her dishes now have fewer ingredients. She said her food has become “a little less fussy and a lot more let it go, let it be.”
In October 2024, Baz spoke with PEOPLE about a billboard that went live in Times Square showing her breastfeeding Gio and holding a bottle of baby formula in her hand.
“Everybody’s gotta eat,” the tagline reads, describing Baz — who teamed up with Bobbie, a U.S.-made baby formula company — as a chef, author, mom and combo feeder.
“Not only is it putting a breastfeeding woman back on a billboard for all to see, but it’s also addressing this conversation of formula versus breastfeeding and what’s right for your baby,” she continued. “So, there’s two really sort of heavy conversations happening at the exact same time.”
Baz said the reception to the billboard was amazing, noting that she didn’t know what to expect from the public.
“In general, ever since last spring, I’ve really adopted this ‘I don’t give a f—‘ attitude, because I feel like there needs to be more of that,” Baz shared.
At the time, she added, “And if I don’t do it, who else is going to? I’m so proud of my pregnancy journey, and my breastfeeding journey, and now my choice to introduce formula. It is right for me. I stand by it. I’m not ashamed of it, and I want other women to feel that empowerment as well.”
