Who is Ms Rachel married to? YouTuber welcomes baby no. 2 with husband

YouTuber and child educator Rachel Accurso, widely known as Ms Rachel, and her husband Aron have welcomed a daughter, Susannah. On Tuesday, April 8, Accurso shared a photo of herself cuddling with her newborn daughter on her Instagram page to announce the news.

“We welcomed sweet baby Susannah into the world! We are so in love! Sometimes timing isn’t what you plan and the road to get there is bumpier than you expect, but when you hold your little ones you know… I’m meant to be your mama,” the post's caption read.

“I was unable to carry this pregnancy for medical reasons and we were blessed to have a surrogate who gave us the most precious gift possible. We are now all family forever. We have immense gratitude and a deep bond. It’s been a truly beautiful experience. I’m in awe of her. Aron - Thank you for being the best husband and dada!”

The announcement of their second child comes nine years after Ms Rachel married Broadway composer and music director Aron Accurso in July 2016. The couple had their first baby, a son named Thomas, in 2018. According to an NBC News report on April 9, Accurso disclosed last year that her child was born following a miscarriage.

As a Dramatists Guild Fellow, Aron studied theater writing. He was also awarded the Jerry Harrington Award in the BMI Workshop. He worked as a writer at the Goodspeed Mercer Colony and later served as a musical director and incidental music arranger for Up Here.

In 2019, Ms Rachel launched her YouTube channel, Ms Rachel with Aron Accurso. They started the channel because her child, who had a speech delay and didn't say his first word until he was two years old, lacked access to many media options.

Aron left his full-time job with Broadway's Aladdin to join Ms Rachel when she became famous. According to People magazine’s April 9 report, Ms. Rachel praised Aron's dedication by sharing a video of herself working with him on Instagram in May 2023.

In addition to being an amateur puppeteer, Aron and Ms Rachel also launched the Songs for Littles YouTube channel during the pandemic, which has amassed over 800 million views.
