Brennon and Alexa welcomed their daughter Vienna in July 2024 after the proud mom had a “really hard” journey with infertility. Alexa tells PEOPLE that she never takes motherhood for granted, describing this past year with her daughter as “the greatest gift.”
“Being Vienna’s mama is something I’ve never taken for granted,” Alexa says. “She is the most loving, kind, silly, and beautiful little girl. Watching her grow over the last year has been the greatest gift. I can’t remember life before her and can’t imagine life without her.”
Brennon echos his wife’s heartfelt sentiments about their daughter, saying that Vienna has “turned my world into something more beautiful than I ever imagined.”
“From the first flutter of her smile to the joyful chaos of her tiny adventures, she brings a sense of wonder to each moment,” he tells PEOPLE. “I’m endlessly proud to be her father, and to watch her grow is the greatest gift I could receive. I am filled with joy at every step she takes toward becoming her own person. I hope she grows wild, grows kind, and grows fearless.”

The couple announced the news of their daughter’s birth on Instagram shortly after welcoming their little girl. In the sweet photo, Alexa and Brennon smiled together on a bed, with the newly minted mom cuddling their baby girl.
“Our perfect daughter, Vienna Ziva Lemieux, born July 31, 2024. She has mommy’s hair and daddy’s dimples and we couldn’t be more in love 🩷,” the couple wrote in their caption.
When the couple first announced with PEOPLE exclusively that they were pregnant in January 2024, they shared that the journey had been a long one.
“We’ve been trying for almost a year and a half, so it was a lot. I went through some fertility treatments and nothing worked,” Alexa explained at the time. “I was really nervous that maybe we’re never going to be able to have kids.”

“For me personally, and this isn’t how I view women, but I was put on this earth to be a mom,” she continued. “Since I was a child, [I would be asked], ‘What do you want to be when you’re older?’ And people are like, I want to be a princess or an astronaut or whatever it is. I was like, ‘I want to be a mom.’ That’s all I ever wanted to be.”
“And so, it was just a very down time for me. I was really going through it because I’m like I can’t do the one thing that I feel like I was put on this earth to do,” she admitted. “And for me, it strips you of your womanhood. That’s what it felt like. And feeling like I was broken.”
Eventually, however, the couple found out that they’d conceived naturally ahead of setting up their first in vitro fertilization (IVF) appointment. “When I found out, I definitely didn’t think even a little bit that I was [pregnant],” Alexa recalled to PEOPLE. “I took some [tests] and it was positive and I just kept telling him when it came back positive, I was like, ‘My body works, my body works!'”
