The couple, who met while filming the Bravo show, first revealed their pregnancy in late March.

“Yep, you saw that right… now go ahead and speculate 😉✨,” Cameron captioned a March 30 Instagram video. 

 

The clip showed a glow-in-the-dark red figurine wearing a dress, dancing alongside a blue man stick figure to Lil Jon’s “Turn Down for What.” As the dancing continued, a smaller, green “baby” figure appeared. 

Family, friends and fans loved the creative announcement. 

“First baby of Below Deck crew? My heart 🥹🛥️,” one person commented. Another added, “You're having a green baby!?!? Congrats??”

Gallagher also joined in, adding, “Excitement is real 😍❤️.” 

The couple later spoke exclusively to PEOPLE about how they felt when they found out they would soon be parents. 

"Honestly, it was a mix of emotions. I was excited, a little scared, but mostly just overwhelmed with happiness," Cameron said. "It felt surreal in the best way, like everything was about to change in the best way possible."

The then-mom-to-be told PEOPLE she was "Feeling super bloated and like my body's expanding by the second."

However, overall things were going “quite well” for her. “Craving all the things I can't have...I never wanted oysters more in my life. But it's all so worth it," she added. 

In a since-deleted Instagram Story post, Cameron shared a sweet Father’s Day message for Gallagher ahead of their little one’s arrival, Bravo reported. 

“To my dear Nathan,” a photo showing her handwritten letter began. “Only a few more days until you are officially a dad! Watching you grow, learn and develop as a man and father has been the best thing in the world. You’ll always be the most wonderful dad! Happy Father’s Day!”

“This time next year we will [be] celebrating with nappies, bottles, and lots of giggles as a family,” Cameron continued. “Our son and I are truley blessed to have you in our lives!! I know you will be the best dad ever!!!”

At the end, she signed herself as “mum” and revealed their son’s nickname to be “Baby G.”
