90 Day Fiance's official Instagram page first broke the news by posting a video of the 31-year-old parents-to-be on Instagram.
"Big news from the #90DayFiance family.️ Brandon & Julia are expecting! Congratulations to the growing family!" 90 Day Fiance's account wrote.
In the video, Julia was wearing a blue sundress that showed off her baby bump.
"We have big news. We are pregnant!" Julia exclaimed in the clip.
Brandon went on to share, "It is exciting and it's a little scary, but we can't wait to share the next chapter of our journey with you guys."
Julia added, "Thank you so much for all of your love and support."
Julia then posted two professional maternity photos on her own Instagram account.
"There is so much to say, I will start with this," Julia wrote, "it is not usual for me and it is very strange to talk about this, but I have to start. #90dayfiance #brandonandjulia."
One of the photos featured Brandon and Julia kissing on a beach while Brandon was holding up a strip of sonogram images and the couple's dog Nala was sitting between them.
Julia also posted a picture of herself posing in a beautiful white, off-the-shoulder dress, with her baby bump on full display.

Brandon, for his part, shared two photos from the same professional photo shoot with Julia.
In one photo, the pair smiled by standing side by side, and in the other, Brandon was kissing his pregnant wife on the forehead.
"Can't believe I'm sharing this news. I am excited but nervous as I want to be the best Dad I can be. #90dayfiance #brandonandjulia," Brandon captioned his post on August 26.
Congratulatory messages poured in from the 90 Day Fiance family.
"Yay!!!!! Congratulations Julia and Brandon," Elizabeth Potthast commented.
Darcey Silva gushed, "Congratulations. We love you!"
Brandon and Julia starred on 90 Day Fiance's eighth season and got married in April 2020, and then they starred on Season 6 of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?.

The 90 Day Fiance franchise documented Julia moving from Russia to Richmond, VA, to be with Brandon and the pair tying the knot.
Julia and Brandon had to face many issues together, including trying to secure a place of their own. Julia also got frustrated that Brandon is so close with his parents, Ron and Betty, and that they were always around.
On 90 Day: The Last Resort earlier this year, Brandon said he loved Julia but they weren't having much sex. He claimed the couple's intimacy fell apart when he told Julia that he'd like to have a baby.
Brandon and Julia later announced during a group therapy session how they weren't on the same page about having kids when they had initially agreed that they'd love to start a family.
Brandon shared that when he brought up the topic of having kids with Julia, she got angry at him and shut down emotionally.

Julia explained how it was hard for her to be away from home and her family, which impacted her sexual drive and desire to get pregnant.
Julia eventually revealed that a doctor had told her in Russia she couldn't have children.
Brandon begged her to get a second opinion, but Julia was hesitant to go through additional testing if she was going to receive the same heartbreaking results. Julia said she felt shame around her supposed inability to conceive a child.
However, on 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?'s latest season, Julia agreed to get a second opinion.
After visiting a fertility clinic and having an ultrasound, Julia was diagnosed with a uterine polyp. Julia was not told, however, that she could never have a child, and so it gave the couple some hope.
