“We are so incredibly grateful to have this new little girl in our family,” the couple told them.

“Our first few weeks were a bit of a blur,” the couple shared. “Lots of love, very little sleep, and a healthy dose of stress. We seem to have forgotten how small newborns are — it seems impossible our oldest was ever that tiny! There have been plenty of family snuggles, though, which helped make the exhaustion easier to handle.”

As for becoming a family of four, the couple added, “It’s safe to say we are still adjusting,” they add. “Going from one child to two has changed the rhythm of our household and required a new level of time management. Though despite the juggling act and a few expected (and unexpected) bumps along the way, we are slowly finding our new rhythm.”

In 2017, Julie met fellow Hallmark Channel actor Chris when they worked together on the TV movie The Sweetest Heart. They married in 2018, and had their first child in June 2022. In December 2025, the couple announced that they were expecting their second child.

Argentine-American Julie is known for her roles in A Cinderella Story (2004), Freaky Friday (2003), Christmas with the Kranks (2004), Veronica Mars, and Dallas (2012–2014). Canada-born actor McNally’s film career began with his award-winning portrayal of John Jardine in 2013’s John Apple Jack. In 2017 he appeared in Freefall.
