Maley shared that she and Holloway feel “honored” to know Ant’s birth parents, adding that “because of them, he enters this world surrounded by so much love.”

‘Survivor’ and ‘Big Brother’ Couple Have Had Parenting on the Mind For Some Time
Maley and Holloway married in 2021, over five years after they each appeared on reality competition shows. Meanwhile, parenting has obviously been on the couple’s mind for some time. Last year, they shared their experience of fostering a child on Instagram.
“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 alongside a candid snapshot in January 2025. “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.”
