The CBS reality family just got a little bit bigger as “Survivor” winner Mike Holloway and “Big Brother” alum Meg Maley shocked fans by revealing that they’d adopted a baby boy together earlier this month.
Holloway, who took home the “Sole Survivor” title on the show’s 30th season, “Survivor: Worlds Apart,” and Maley, who competed on the 17th season of “Big Brother” announced the news in a joint Instagram post on April 2.
Meg Maley & Mike Holloway Introduce Baby Anthony to the World
“Welcome to the family, baby Anthony, our Ant,” Maley captioned the heartwarming photo of herself and her husband Holloway holding their new baby boy.
“Early on, Mike and I felt called to adoption,” she added. “Our journey has been a winding road, and through it all, one thing has remained true: God is faithful. We know Ant has always been written in our story.”
The reality TV power couple, who tied the knot back in September 2021, added that they’re “honored” to have a relationship with their new son’s birth parents.
“Beacuse of them, he enters this world surrounded by so much love,” they continued, adding that they plan to “always tell their story and are proud to be a part of Ant’s team together.”
Maley concluded the celebratory post by saying, “Thank you to those who believed alongside us. Our hearts are overfull.”
Meg & Mike’s CBS Co-Stars Send Congratulations: ‘We Love You Guys So Much!’
Fans of both “Survivor” and “Big Brother” showered the couple and baby Anthony in love in the post’s comments section.
“Congratulations on Baby Anthony,” wrote two-time “Survivor” champion Sandra Diaz-Twine, adding, “You both will be amazing, loving parents. Anthony is so lucky.”
“I’m crying!” added Maley’s “Big Brother 17” co-star Jackie Ibarra. “I love you guys so much! This is beyond amazing.”
The couple similarly received the support of countless other CBS reality stars, including “Survivor” alumni Adam Klein, Andrea Boehlke and Sierra Dawn Anglim, who wrote, “We love you guys so much!!! God is so good!!!”
“Big Brother” stars like Rachel Reilly, Tommy Bracco and Colman Feighan also joined in on the celebration, with the latter wishing the newly-minted family unit “a lifetime of happiness, health and love.”
Baby Anthony’s Adoption Follows Couple’s Foster Care Journey
News of the couple’s adoption comes more than a year after Maley candidly opened up about her and Holloway’s experience fostering a child in January 2025.
“When we said hello, we knew goodbye was likely in our future, but we didn’t fully know the joy from her giggles and smiling big eyes,” Maley wrote on Instagram at the time. “We also weren’t prepared for the weight of the foster care system – the uncertainty, the unfair cards dealt to these little souls, and the constant bittersweet emotions. We pray that our sweet girl starts her new chapter knowing she is deeply loved and that God is great and God is good.”
“To anyone walking in this world of foster care, you inspire us. We hope to encourage you in any way we can,” she continued. “To our family and friends, thank you for giving us grace in a time when we often fell short. You are our world. We will miss her, but we are so thankful to have had the chance to be her foster parents.”
