"Our 5-year-old daughter had been praying for another baby all quarantine long, and her prayers were answered!" Boyd tells PEOPLE.

"This has been one of the biggest surprises and hardest secrets to keep," adds Taylor, a modeling agent who wed Boyd in April 2016.

It's going to be a crazy ride, but we are so excited for the grand finale ... and this will be the grand finale!"
