Big Brother 13 cast members Daniele Donato, Dominic Briones expecting a baby
By Ryan Gamble
Big Brother 13 houseguests Daniele Donato and Dominic Briones are expecting a baby. The couple made an announcement on Instagram to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Donato and Briones were both in the Big Brother house during season 13 but didn’t start dating until after the show had concluded. Now they have taken that showmance to a new level, with this announcement that they are about to increase their family by one member.
Daniele Donato becomes a mother
As of the writing of this article, the Instagram post by Daniele Donato has 3,457 likes. Many well-wishers have stopped by to drop notes of congratulations on her wall. She has even taken the time to thank many of them for those messages. Some former Big Brother alums are included in those notes. Along with a cute photo of a sonogram and roses, Donato posted a message to her Instagram readers.
"“Happy Valentine’s Day!! Hoping this year everyone’s hearts are as full as mine and @dominic.phillip ‘s hearts .. and my belly. ❤️✨Baby Briones coming this August.”"
Would Daniele return for another Big Brother season?
It has long been assumed that Daniele Donato would participate in the show again if she got invited. Maybe if there is a Big Brother: All-Stars in the future she will do so. This news, though, should lead people to count her out for Big Brother 20 this summer. She will be busy putting her new family together.
As a reminder to Big Brother fans, Daniele Donato was the runner-up on Big Brother 8 before returning for another try during Big Brother 13. It was on her second stint when she met Dominic Briones, and the rest, as they say, is history. She is also the daughter of Evel Dick Donato, who continues to have a strong social media presence when it comes to the game.
