Congratulations! Nate Berkus & Jeremiah Brent Welcome New Addition to Family

Fans are ecstatic as HGTV celebrities Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent welcome the latest addition to their family with open arms.

On September 6th, Brent delighted fans with an Instagram post featuring photos and videos of their family’s adorable new feline companion. The caption read, “Just moments after bringing her home – Nate and Oskar have grown quite fond of her since then…x.”

This charming cat, whose name remains a delightful secret, was an unexpected gift for their 8-year-old daughter, Poppy. Brent had previously shared a heartwarming video of the surprise on August 29th, as Berkus finally gave in to the idea. Brent playfully explained in a video clip within his post, “Well, it seems that the impossible has happened. Nate, who was never keen on the idea of having a cat, and I are all set to surprise Poppy with her very first feline friend.”

“I may be 51 years old, and I’ve never had one of these in my life, but I’m open to giving it a shot,” Berkus shared.

In Brent’s post, there was also a heartwarming video featuring their 5-year-old son, Oskar, joyfully bonding with the newest addition to the Brent-Berkus family.

On August 29, Jeremiah Brent treated his Instagram followers to a heartwarming moment that captured the essence of a family’s love and surprise. In the video he shared, Poppy, the 8-year-old daughter of Brent and Nate Berkus, descended a flight of stairs to find her two fathers standing side by side, each holding her new feline friend in their arms. The sheer delight on her face was unmistakable as she gasped in amazement and eagerly asked, “Hi Virginia… can I hold her?” Poppy’s initial moniker for her newfound furry companion was “Virginia.”

However, in the accompanying caption, Brent playfully disclosed that they were still considering various names before settling on the perfect one, writing, “Surprise, surprise! Poppy is one week into her journey as a cat mom. Virginia… Charlotte… Olive… we’ll see which name sticks.”

The post garnered an outpouring of enthusiasm from fans, friends, and followers of the Brent-Berkus family. One user humorously chimed in, “I’m allergic to cats, but I’d gladly take Benadryl for the rest of my life if someone surprised me with this kitty.”

Another observant follower couldn’t help but recall Nate’s prior aversion to the idea of having a cat, stating, “Didn’t Nate say they’d never get a cat? I love it when parents evolve 😉.”

A third user shared a heartfelt sentiment, acknowledging the pure joy evident on the fathers’ faces as they brought happiness to their child. They noted, “Seeing those dads’ faces is what melts my heart. Ultimate happiness comes from making your child happy. But please stop cutting onions. 🖤”

While a significant portion of the online community was genuinely thrilled for Jeremiah Brent and Nate Berkus upon the arrival of their new feline family member, there was an amusing twist to the story. In response to Brent’s September 6 post, one user couldn’t help but express their initial confusion, commenting, “I literally thought this was a new baby announcement.”

This comment seemed to resonate with several other users who joined the conversation. One person humorously admitted, “Ditto, I didn’t have my reading glasses on, and I thought he was holding a human baby (because our pets are our babies too)!! 😳 😍 🥰 🤗 💯 ❤,” while another playfully emphasized the sentiment, stating, “it is! Cats are babies too!”

Amidst the playful banter, there was one particularly enthusiastic commenter who, after witnessing the family’s latest addition, passionately declared, “Omg you guys need another baby.” This comment, while perhaps lighthearted, hinted at the warmth and love that surrounded the Brent-Berkus family, whether they were expanding their human or furry family members.
