Celebrity chef Sophia Roe, who appeared as a guest judge on “Top Chef” and “Top Chef Canada,” revealed she and her fiance, Chris, will soon have their first child.
Roe announced the big news during a People magazine interview, published on March 23. While speaking to the publication, Roe shared details about her fiance. She said that she was surprised when he “made [her] nervous” during their first date, as “people don’t make [her] nervous.”
“So at the end of our dinner, he said, ‘This was great, we should do this again.’ And I was like, ‘Really?’ I was like, ‘Okay, you want to see me again? Cool,'” said Roe during the People magazine interview.
Roe also said she did not expect Chris to propose during their Hawaiian vacation in October 2024. According to Roe, she was equally surprised when she realized she was expecting after she and Chris came home after their trip. The publication clarified that Roe and her fiance were attempting to conceive.
In addition, Roe shared that she plans “to be a mobile mom, a very around-the-city mom.”
“I plan on still doing my life. I still have a career. I still have all these things I want to do. And I imagine that being really inspiring for a [kid] to see [their] mom do all of these things right now. I’m just hyped to still live my life, just with a baby,” said Roe to the publication.
