Jack Osbourne Welcomes Baby No. 5, Named After Dad Ozzy Osbourne
Get ready with Veruca Salt as she prepares to become a mom for the second time.
Two years after the unexpected death of her 6-week-old son Cash Harrison Stirling, the TikToker announced that she is pregnant again.
In a March 10 TikTok video, Veruca (real name Kimberley Summer Hartley) showed herself using two separate pregnancy tests before revealed the positive results to the camera.
Though the 27-year-old feigned surprise when looking at the tests, she ended the clip by confirming, “I’m faking it for the video, I’ve known for ages.”
Indeed, Veruca said in a separate TikTok that she is around six weeks pregnant. And while she didn’t share the baby’s paternity, she clarified that her estranged husband—who she wed in November before their breakup in early December—is not the father.
The influencer admitted, though, that her pregnancy is “very confusing.”
“Last year, I was trying to get pregnant on purpose, and then this year was like, ‘You know what? I’ve made peace with it. I’ll tell the universe I don’t want a baby and I’ll do my own thing and I’ll work on myself,’” Veruca said in another video. “So, I got drunk for two months straight, got on birth control—boom, baby.”
“Should we sue them?” she quipped. “The birth control people, we should sue them.”
Amid the news, excitement abounded in the comments from Veruca’s followers who have been by her side while she navigated her grief after her baby boy Cash died in his sleep in 2024.

“[It was] the biggest and worst thing I’ve ever been through,” the OnlyFans model told Rolling Stone in May 2024 of the infant’s death. “I want a reason, but I’ll never have one.”
And though she received negative comments from “sick and twisted” people after Cash died, Veruca is adamant about honoring her firstborn.
“I deserve to post my baby like everyone else does,” she continued. “My son lived such a short life, he didn’t get the chance to change the world or do anything… These short videos of him are the only impact he gets to make on the world.”
As Veruca embarks on her pregnancy journey, read on to see other stars who have welcomed babies this year.
