Congratulations are in order for the Coopers! The Summer House: Martha’s Vineyard power couple are expecting their first child after enjoying their first year of marriage together.
Silas Cooper and Jasmine Ellis Cooper were newly married when they filmed the premiere season of Summer House: Martha’s Vineyard. Fans enjoyed getting to know the couple’s dynamic, though a few moments raised eyebrows. Such as Silas complaining that his breakfast schedule was thrown into shambles.
But with their debut on reality TV successfully behind them, Silas and Jasmine are thrilled to share their special pregnancy news with fans.
Jasmine plans to balance motherhood and her career
The 31-year-old reality TV star exclusively revealed her pregnancy to People. She spoke with excitement of entering the “mom era!”
“We have been trying for a little while. It’s not like we were preventing, to be honest. One day, I was just feeling a little weird and, you know how you have a gut feeling? I took a test and it came out positive,” she explained.
Jasmine gushed about spilling the beans to her husband. Of course, she wanted to make the moment special. Silas received the news in the most heart-warming manner.
“Everything in my mind that I had envisioned on how I was going to tell him — because we’ve both wanted to be parents and build a family — completely just went out the window. I literally just ran into the other room, I jumped on him and said, ‘We’re pregnant! We did it!'” she revealed.
“He got really emotional and shed a tear or two. It was really exciting and very simple. I wish I would have documented it, but the way he reacted is cemented in my brain,” Jasmine continued.
Did the other Martha’s Vineyard stars know?
The couple share a very special link with their Summer House: Martha’s Vineyard co-stars as Jasmine was newly pregnant while filming. She chose to keep the news under wraps until she passed 12 weeks gestation. Once that critical point was crossed, she told her co-stars that she and Silas were expecting a baby boy.
“Initially, just my family knew. And then we found out that we were having a boy, which is really exciting,” Jasmine explained. “Going into this season filming Summer House, I knew that I was going to let them know, but I really wanted to cross over that barrier from first trimester to second trimester, so as soon as I was in the clear and that second trimester hit, I let my castmates know.”
“The way it plays out this season is actually really funny. Some people maybe suspected, but for the most part, I don’t think they had any idea. It’s going to be fun for the viewers to watch. I know that it’s going to be really special,” she added.
Jasmine is currently handling the pregnancy without the comfort of her husband close by. Silas is currently deployed in Poland and the two keep in touch “via WhatsApp.”
The separation has not dampened Jasmine’s excitement though. She has a name picked out already and is “excited to join the boy mom gang.”
Her pregnancy has been going smoothly. Jasmine has no complaints, “outside of the cravings (savory, spicy foods) and Pilates getting a little harder to do, it’s been really beautiful. I think my son is really doing me well.”
Reflecting on a year of marriage
Reflecting on the first year of married life and all the surprises that came with it, Jasmine acknowledged that is “was not the easiest.”
“It was very complex and we were pulled in so many different directions,” she said. “So to be at this point now feels like a blessing, like a reward for just staying committed to our family. It’s exciting and I know that it’s hard for him, being so far from me. He’s always worried if I’m okay, if I’m eating enough, if I have everything I need, and I have to reassure him that we’re good. I have an amazing doula, an amazing hospital that I’m going to give birth at, and I’m holding it down over here while he’s holding it down for the country over there.”
Silas and Jasmine are “looking forward to learning each other in this new way,” as they step into the roles of parenthood. Jasmine has high hopes for her child’s future.
“I think Silas is going to be a phenomenal role model and father, and just having fun moments at home,” she gushed. “Him being able to come home to the family we’re building is what I look forward to the most, the little moments like the movie nights, the forts, the trips, the weird things that kids do. I’m looking forward to that and all the holidays for sure.”
As for her own feelings about becoming a mother, Jasmine is hoping juggle a career and a baby.
She concluded, “It’s really special to approach motherhood, knowing all the phenomenal stories centered around youth and children that are out there. I’m looking forward to getting my career out there, and my biggest hope is to continue to collaborate with people I want to work with, telling the stories I want to tell outside of Summer House: Martha’a Vineyard, so I’m looking forward to balancing that with motherhood.”
Baby Cooper is due to enter the world in February 2024.
