Ballerina Farm’s Hannah Neeleman Announces Pregnancy with Baby No. 9

Hannah Neeleman, co-founder of Ballerina Farm, is expecting her ninth child with husband Daniel Neeleman. The announcement was made on Wednesday via a ballet-inspired video shared on Instagram [1].

A Celebration of Strength

In the video, Neeleman, 35, reflected on her background as a ballerina, emphasizing the strength required both in dance and in motherhood. “As a ballerina, you are associated with many things: elegance, grace, poise,” she said in a voiceover. “But a term not often associated enough: strength. On this stage, I learned to be strong, and despite what some people think, that strength never leaves you. It prepares you.” [1]

Growing Family and Farm Life

Hannah and Daniel Neeleman married in 2011 and are already parents to eight children: Henry, 13; Charles, 11; George, 10; Frances, 8; Lois, 6; Martha, 4; Mabel, 3, and Flora Jo, born in 2024 [1]. The family resides on a 328-acre farm in Kamas, Utah, where they operate Ballerina Farm [2].

Recent Challenges and Relocation

Ballerina Farm recently paused the sale of raw milk following health violations discovered during routine testing in the summer of 2025 [1]. The couple stated that unsafe milk was never sold and there were no reported illnesses [1].

In March 2025, the Neelemans temporarily relocated their family to Ireland while attending the Ballymaloe Cookery School [1].

From Juilliard to Farm Life

Hannah Neeleman, a former Miss New York City, graduated from the Juilliard School in dance [2]. She and Daniel launched Ballerina Farm in 2019, which now sells a variety of products including meat, baked goods, and pantry items [2]. She has gained a significant following on social media for her content documenting their lifestyle [4].
