While speaking with PEOPLE at the Landman red carpet screening for season 2 in New York City on Tuesday, Nov. 11, the Canadian actress, 32, opens up about how her fellow castmates reacted to hearing the exciting news that she's expecting her first baby with actor husband Kevin McGarry.
"You know I've been back home in Canada since we wrapped, so I've kind of been like, in hiding essentially," she tells PEOPLE. "So my reveal was I put on a tight dress last night and walked into the lobby at the hotel, and people were like, ‘What?!’ So yeah, they've been so supportive. It's been wonderful."
She also shares with PEOPLE what she's looking forward to most as a new mom.
"Oh my gosh, oh my God, you're gonna make me cry," she says, adding she's excited for every moment with her little one. "I'm so excited. I can't wait to meet the baby."

Wallace and McGarry first met while starring on the Hallmark Channel series When Calls the Heart in 2018, when they both joined the series for season 6, which aired in the spring of 2019. He was cast as Nathan Grant, one of Hope Valley's mounties, and she played Fiona Miller for five seasons before being written off the show ahead of season 11 due to scheduling conflicts.
McGarry seemingly confirmed their relationship on Instagram in November 2020 shortly after wrapping production on season 8. He posted a photo of two coffee cups on a counter, surrounded by Polaroid photos of himself and Wallace together. He coyly captioned the post, "Photo evidence. 📸."
Then, two years later in December 2022, McGarry and Wallace announced their engagement via a joint Instagram post featuring a clip of the couple kissing, set to The Beatles classic "In My Life." Wallace wrote in the caption, "Forever ❤️."
In September 2024 during a panel appearance at the annual Hearties Family Reunion fan event, McGarry confirmed that he and Wallace had tied the knot. In a video from the event, shared on Instagram by the fan account Suspenders Unbuttoned, the panel host can be heard remarking to McGarry, "You've got a ring on your finger. I hope it's not a prop."
The actor said "no" and held up his hand to show off the ring as the audience clapped and cheered the news.
