Cheyenne “Pickle” Wheat and Joshua Kippes just added a brand-new member to their growing family, and fans of Swamp People couldn’t be happier. On April 4, 2025, the couple welcomed their second child together—a baby boy named Kacey—and the announcement came with all the sweet, goofy charm Pickle is loved for.
Taking to Instagram, Pickle shared an adorable slideshow that introduced baby Kacey to the world. The post was simple but full of joy: “Thank y’all for being so patient! IT’S A BOY!!! Everyone meet Kacey!” The pictures and videos captured those raw and precious first moments—tiny fingers, sleepy yawns, and the warm, glowing happiness of a new beginning.
But in true Pickle fashion, she didn’t stop at the baby reveal. In a follow-up post, she gave fans a behind-the-scenes glimpse of how both parents “prepared” for baby Kacey’s arrival—and the contrast had everyone laughing. Pickle showed clips of herself in full nesting mode—packing a diaper bag, checking off lists at the store, picking out her hospital outfit—while Joshua’s version of getting ready looked a little different: stocking up on dog food, mowing the lawn, trying on sneakers, and watering plants.
With the caption “These events are based on a true story,” Pickle had moms everywhere chiming in with laughs and comments about how relatable her post was. The humor struck a chord, especially among her female followers, many of whom saw their own stories mirrored in her playful yet honest take on parenting dynamics.
The couple’s love story has quickly become a fan favorite. Pickle and Joshua tied the knot in a deeply personal ceremony in September 2024, surrounded by family and friends along the Belle River. The wedding, which aired on an episode of Swamp People in February 2025, was an emotional moment for Pickle, who walked down the aisle with her father and was married by none other than Swamp People legend Troy Landry. “To get married here, on the Belle River, is just worth gold to me,” she said during the episode. “My daddy gets to walk me down the aisle and Mr. Troy gets to say the words, so I couldn’t ask for anything better.”
This marks the couple’s second child together. Their first, a daughter named Maemi, now steps into the role of big sister. Joshua also has a son from a previous relationship, making theirs a blended family full of love, energy, and plenty of adventures.
Throughout her second pregnancy, Pickle stayed true to her wild-at-heart lifestyle. Even in the final weeks leading up to Kacey’s birth, she was still out on the water, hunting and fishing like always. It’s a testament to her strong, grounded nature—and her commitment to the life she loves. A fan favorite since her debut in Season 12, Pickle Wheat continues to be one of the standout stars of Swamp People, which just wrapped up its 16th season earlier this year.
With a new baby in tow, a close-knit family by her side, and the support of loyal fans, Pickle’s life may be changing, but one thing’s certain—she’s still doing it all with grit, grace, and a good dose of humor.
