Lizzie’s pregnancy is one of the major plot points in the recently released Season 6 of the much-beloved Netflix series ‘Virgin River.’ Played by Sarah Dugdale, Lizzie prepares for motherhood with Denny by her side in the latest season.
Thanks to this intriguing storyline, some fans have been wondering about the actress’ real-life pregnancy status, too. But we can confirm, Lizzie is the one pregnant, not Sarah Dugdale.
Actress Sarah Dugdale Is Not Pregnant in Real Life—Her Character Lizzie Is Expecting a Baby With Denny in ‘Virgin River’ Season 6
Let’s get the first query out of the way. There’s nothing to suggest Lizzie star Sarah Dugdale is pregnant in real life. She has shared some baby bump pictures on her official Instagram page, but all of them are behind-the-scenes images from the sets of ‘Virgin River.’ Moreover, the actress was wearing a prosthetic pregnancy belly from Moonbump in the show. Needless to say, her character is the only one expecting a baby.
In ‘Virgin River’ Season 6, Lizzie gears up for a significant change as she gets ready to welcome her baby with Denny. This comes after plenty of drama in the previous season, where Lizzie and Denny’s relationship became more serious, ultimately leading to her pregnancy.
Back in Season 5, Lizzie and Denny’s connection eventually came together as they dealt with personal and relationship challenges. They had to contend with Denny’s Huntington’s disease diagnosis and what it meant for their future. Even with all these issues, their bond only got stronger. By the end of the season, Lizzie discovered she was pregnant, which brought a mix of excitement and anxiety as they got ready for a new chapter in their lives.
Season 6 sees Lizzie and Denny deeply engaged in preparing for their baby’s arrival. They attend prenatal checkups and set up a cozy nursery, embracing their new role as parents. Lizzie’s pregnancy takes center stage as she deals with all the ups and downs that come with it. Meanwhile, the Virgin River community is right there with them every step of the way, offering lots of love, advice, and support as they dive into this exciting new chapter.

It’s not all smooth sailing for Lizzie (Sarah Dugdale) in the latest season—things get complicated for her when Ricky returns to Virgin River. Her ex is only in town for a quick visit before heading off to the Marines, but his return stirs up old emotions. It’s a big moment for both of them—they finally get some closure, which helps Lizzie move forward and focus on her future with Denny and their baby.
Throughout Season 6, Lizzie’s growth and character development are evident, going from a carefree young woman to a soon-to-be mother. Her bond with Denny stays strong, and they’re tackling the future together with determination and hope.
Interestingly, despite the ups and downs of pregnancy and getting ready for parenthood, the two are in no rush to exchange vows and they wish to truly savor their relationship.
