In the latest Ryan Blaney baby announcement news, NASCAR driver Ryan Blaney and his wife Gianna Tulio revealed an upcoming addition to their family, sharing the moment online after Blaney’s challenging run at Sonoma Raceway. The couple, who married last December in Aspen, Colorado, are expecting their first child—a boy—in December, with Tulio displaying her baby bump at Carneros Resort and Spa in Sonoma, California.
Gianna Tulio’s Sonoma Update Delights Fans After Grueling Race
After a tough outing for Blaney at Sonoma Raceway, Gianna Tulio posted fresh images on social media that featured her wearing a striped jumpsuit and highlighting her pregnancy. Captured during their stay at Carneros Resort and Spa, the update arrived shortly after Blaney’s race ended due to a crash.
The social media post showed Tulio enjoying her time in Sonoma and was accompanied by a simple three-word message:
“Bumpin’ around Sonoma,” Tulio wrote.
The update followed another recent post from Caymus Vineyards, where Tulio wore a pale yellow dress and showcased her baby bump just after Ryan Blaney’s Did Not Finish (DNF) during the Sonoma race. Blaney, driving the #12 Team Penske Ford, was knocked into the dirt on lap 62 following contact with Chris Buescher, marking his seventh DNF of the season—currently the most among NASCAR drivers.
Looking ahead, Blaney is set to race at Dover Motor Speedway, where he finished seventh the previous year. With the 400-lap event counting as one of the last before the playoffs and with Blaney already earning a playoff spot via his win at Nashville Superspeedway, all eyes remain on his performance as the season progresses.
Celebrations and Reactions Across the NASCAR Community
The announcement of Blaney and Tulio’s pregnancy prompted widespread congratulations from NASCAR fans and peers. The couple initially kept the news private for some time, which Gianna Tulio admitted may have created speculation among spotters about their relationship.
Tulio made the announcement official on Instagram, sharing with her followers:
“Been keeping a secret for far too long but finally ready to share. Baby Blaney coming 2025!”
Among their close friends, Bubba Wallace was one of the first to express joy that the news was finally public, suggesting he had already been informed privately:
“Let’s goooooooooo!!!!!!! Bout damn time yall told the world,” Wallace wrote.
Hollywood actress Sydney Sweeney, who made her own NASCAR debut last year by driving a stock car at Charlotte Motor Speedway, also joined in with her well-wishes, saying, “So happy for you!!!!!!!!!!”
Haley, wife of Ty Dillon, extended warm congratulations after recently interviewing Tulio about her experience on the Believe in the Good podcast:
“Congratulations, you guys! So excited for you, and these photos are gorgeous.”
A Special Milestone Approaching for Ryan Blaney and Gianna Tulio
The arrival of Ryan Blaney and Gianna Tulio’s first child is expected in early December, just ahead of their wedding anniversary, which coincides with the date of their winter wedding on December 12. This date is particularly significant for the NASCAR driver, matching the #12 on his race car, and their celebration saw a guest list filled with peers, including Bubba Wallace, Chase Elliott, and Dale Earnhardt Jr., alongside dozens of friends and family.
The news of the baby, combined with intense support from within the NASCAR community, marks a joyful moment for the couple amid a challenging racing season. As Blaney looks ahead to future races and the NASCAR playoffs, anticipation grows not only for his performance on the track but also for the new chapter beginning with his growing family.
