Kenzie Petty, star of Survivor 46, announced she is pregnant with her first child on Mother's Day 2024.
Petty shared her pregnancy photoshoot on Instagram. Petty was joined by her husband, Jackson, in the photos. The couple also announced their baby is due in September.
Here's how Petty captioned the photos and announced the news:
"I’ve gotten really good at keeping secrets and going on adventures this year, but it’s finally the perfect day to tell y’all WE’RE HAVING A BABY!! Sweet lil Petty popping up in September.It’s such an honor to be joining the club of motherhood. I love being pregnant, I love being alive, and I love my little bean. We couldn’t be more over the moon if we tried.Happy Mother’s Day, my friends!"
Kenzie is still alive in Survivor 46! After losing almost every challenge before the merge, Kenzie, along with Q Burdette and Tiffany Nicole Ervin from the original Yanu tribe, have made it quite far in the game. Tiffany was just voted out with eight people left in the game. Kenzie and Q can still win the game, but they'll have to play their cards right.
After receiving her first vote from Ben in episode 11, Kenzie has an uphill battle in the last two episodes starting with the penultimate episode on Wednesday, May 15. The episode is unironically titled, "Mamma Bear." I think there's a reference to Maria being the Mamma Bear of the tribe? I don't know! We'll find out in the new episode.
For me, she's the third-most deserving player to win right now. If she can team up and take out Charlie or Maria, Kenzie could easily be in the conversation to take home the $1 million prize and title of Sole Survivor. She's played a great social game. She's confronted Ben through panic attacks. She's survived every vote, won individual immunity, and been on the majority side in almost every person who has been eliminated in the game, all the way back to the Yanu days. That means something, more than Kenzie will probably get credit for. At the final tribal, though, having a hand in voting out every person in the game except for Tiffany, Jem, and Soda could be a huge win for Kenzie.
Heading into episode 12, there are only six players left, so Kenzie has a pretty good chance making it to the three-hour season finale, which airs on Wednesday, May 22. She just has to make it through one more vote for that to happen.
