HGTV’s Castle Impossible Stars Expect Baby While Restoring 500‑Year‑Old French Chateau

A short maternity leave with family support should let them keep renting parts of the chateau as a wedding venue to fund the renovation.

Overview

  • Daphne and Ian Figuera announced their first pregnancy on the season-two premiere of Castle Impossible and have since discussed how they will balance a newborn with the project.
  • They say the chateau renovation has strained their marriage but that shared problem‑solving has kept them working as a team.
  • The couple plans a brief maternity leave, will rely on visits from friends and family, and expects to rotate duties so the venue business can keep operating.
  • They denied online rumors that they are expecting twins and joked about blending parenting with construction life, including using baby carriers on site.
  • The couple rents finished rooms for weddings to pay for the costly, time‑intensive restoration and hope their child will one day inherit the property as a family home.
