Why Ballerina Farm Influencer Hannah Neeleman Moved Her Family to Ireland
Hannah Neeleman is adding a new dancer to her farm.
The Ballerina Farm blogger announced she is pregnant with her and husband Daniel Neeleman’s ninth baby in a new advertisement for her brand’s Farmer’s Protein Powder.
“As a ballerina, you are associated with many things,” Hannah narrates in the new ad, shared to her Instagram Feb. 25, as she opens her peacoat to reveal a baby bump. “Elegance, grace, poise. But a term not often associated enough: strength.”
As a cut sends Hannah from taking in a slew of ballerinas dancing on stage to looking out on the vast land of a farm, she shares how her dancing career prepared her for her life as a mom.
“On this stage, I learned to be strong,” she continues, “And despite what some people think. That strength never leaves you. It prepares you. The stage is different, but the strength is the same.”
After her sweet announcement, Hannah added to the happy news in an Instagram Story, “We are so excited for this little miracle.”
Hannah and Daniel’s newest addition comes a little over two years after she took social media by storm for competing in a beauty pageant just weeks after giving birth to the couple’s eight child, a baby girl Flora Jo, now 2.
“I am still bleeding a little,” she told the New York Times just before she took the stage to compete in the Mrs. World pageant in Las Vegas in 2024. “A lot of us have kids, and I don’t think there’s any shame in showing I just had a baby. Like, I’m not going to have a perfectly flat stomach.”
The 35-year-old—also mom to Henry, 13, Charles, 11, George, 10, Frances, 8, Lois, 6, Martha, 4, Mabel, 3, with Daniel—has previously shut down those who have criticized her lifestyle, admitting she’s hesitant to accept the “trad wife” label.

“I don’t necessarily identify with it,” she told The Times in a 2024 profile, “because we are traditional in the sense that it’s a man and a woman, we have children, but I do feel like we’re paving a lot of paths that haven’t been paved before.”
But Hannah emphasized that she and her family would shut down any concrete label.
“We try so hard to be neutral and be ourselves and people will put a label on everything,” she added. “This is just our normal life.”
When it comes to having children, Hannah assured adding to her brood is “a matter of prayer” rather than planning.
“I’m, like, ‘God, is it time to bring another one to the Earth?’” she explained. “And I’ve never been told no."
