Luka Roman Gracin is the couple’s older son who just celebrated his 4th birthday on January 13th.

Josh and Katie announced that they were expecting their second child together last summer. 

Josh Gracin and his wife Katie announced their pregnancy in August, with an adorable photo of Luka at Disneyland holding a sign that showed a sonogram and read, “coming January 2024.”

“I think the new big bro is a little excited!!!” Gracin captioned the announcement post.
