The Bates family keeps getting bigger — adding on to their own growing families.

On October 1, 2025, Tori Bates and her husband, Bobby Smith, revealed that they were expecting baby number six. (The couple, who wed in 2017, share sons Robert IV, Kolter and Weston Slade and daughters Charlotte and Cambree.)

“Well, it’s been a while since I’ve shown up here (apparently I only log in for life’s biggest moments 🙃) … but this one is too sweet not to share: Baby #6 is joining our crew in March 2026! 🍼💛,” Tori and Bobby shared via Instagram.

Meanwhile, Zach Bates and his wife, Whitney Bates, are also preparing to welcome their sixth baby.
