On Tuesday, April 8, beloved children’s YouTuber Ms. Rachel shared a surprise announcement with her fans.
Ms. Rachel, real name Rachel Griffin Accurso, revealed via Instagram on Tuesday, April 8, that she is now a mom of two.
The announcement received support from hundreds of thousands of people, including some high profiles names like Kylie Kelce, Mandy Moore and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Alongside a photo of herself snuggling with her baby girl, Ms. Rachel wrote that she, her husband, Aron Accurso, and their 7-year-old son, Thomas, “are so in love” with their tiny bundle of joy.
“We welcomed sweet baby Susannah into the world! 
We are so in love!” she shared.
“Sometimes timing isn’t what you plan and the road to get there is bumpier than you expect, but when you hold your little ones you know … I’m meant to be your mama.”
As the 42-year-old former teacher continued, she revealed that she “was unable to carry this pregnancy for medical reasons and we were blessed to have a surrogate who gave us the most precious gift possible.”

In the caption, Ms. Rachel wrote, “My rainbow baby is not a baby anymore but he’ll always be my rainbow baby 
So much love to anyone who understands

After a follower commented on the post, writing, “When are we getting more episodes? I feel like since you’ve signed with Netflix we don’t really get good content anymore …”
Ms. Rachel responded saying, “I’m sorry. We’ve had some family things to attend to. Nothing to do with Netflix, as that is content from YouTube.”
In response to another fan, she wrote, “I will make a little video tomorrow to help .”
The last YouTube video shared by Ms. Rachel was posted two months ago featuring a collaboration with Elmo. However, she has maintained her presence on Instagram.
On April 4, she shared a video in support of parents singing “raising tiny humans is very hard … you’re doing a great job.”
