Why Hannah Neeleman says baby number nine 'could be my last'

Hannah Neeleman, the face of the viral Ballerina Farm brand, has offered fans a candid glimpse into her ninth pregnancy. Sharing an update on Monday, the 35-year-old mother of eight admitted that reaching the "home stretch" has presented new challenges.

In a video showcasing her fitness routine, she noted, “Each pregnancy gets a little tougher!” Adding a sentimental touch, she shared that as she strives for “Trying to stay active and keeping the body moving,” she is mindful that this “could be my last so wanting to enjoy these special moments.”

The announcement comes just over a year after the birth of her daughter, Flora Jo, in January 2024. Hannah’s remarkable journey famously included competing in Mrs World just 12 days after giving birth.

The family, usually based on their 328-acre Utah ranch, recently spent time in Ireland at the Ballymaloe Cookery School. However, their return to the spotlight has been met with scrutiny following reports of bacteria found in their raw milk.

Addressing the controversy, Daniel Neeleman admitted, “Producing raw milk takes careful planning from a facility and infrastructure standpoint. Unfortunately, we learned this after the fact.”

Despite the business hurdles and the physical demands of a large family, Hannah remains resolute. She told her followers on 10 February: “We 100% stand behind our dairy and our milk.”

As the Neelemans prepare for their newest arrival, they continue to balance the complexities of high-profile farm life with the joys of a growing household.
