"The world is waiting for you, Baby Borden" — The Amazing Race's Alyssa announces pregnancy with Josiah

The Amazing Race season 37 couple Alyssa and Josiah Borden shared an important news with fans shortly after the finale aired. On May 15, 2025, Alyssa took to her official Instagram account (@lysskirkborden) to announce her pregnancy with husband, Josiah. She posted pictures from her maternity shoot and captioned the post with:

"As the season of surprises comes to an end tonight, we have one more... The world is waiting for you, Baby Borden June 2025."

Alyssa and Josiah are nurse anesthetists from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, who participated in the CBS show, hoping to win the $1 million cash prize. However, Jonathan and Ana outperformed them in the last challenge in Porto, Portugal. They ultimately finished the competition in fourth place.

Alyssa was upset about not making it into the final three of The Amazing Race, but was pleased that she could experience racing across the world with her partner. During her exit interview, Alyssa stated:

"I'm amazed by the hard things we did together and knowing that, like, we're going forward in life to having kids and just doing these hard things together-- we're gonna get through them because we just did."

A year after filming and hours after the finale aired, Alyssa revealed she's pregnant with their first child, due in June 2025.
