‘Days of Our Lives’ Spoilers: Barash Shared They Are Expecting a Baby Boy!
The couple already shares one son, Joaquin Lee Barash, who was born in September 2023. Barash also shares another child with Kirsten Storms, who plays Maxie Jones on General Hospital.
Harper Rose Barash was born in January 2014, as Brandon and Kirsten were married at the time. The actor announced on Instagram that he is expanding his family. The post was accompanied by a carousel documenting Isabella’s pregnancy and some sweet snaps of his children.
One image showed the family celebrating the gender reveal. Brandon and Isabella were given the happy news months ago, but are officially announcing it to his fans on his social media account.
The actor wrote, “We heard the news months ago, you heard it today! Family pictures are about to look a lot different and a lot more love to go around. Baby Barash # 3 is coming in June!”
Barash and Storms met while they were both on GH. Brandon played Johnny Zacchara. He portrayed the mobster on GH from September 2007 to May 2013.
The former couple was married in June 2013 at Cesar’s Palace in Las Vegas and divorced in April 2016. Harper Rose served as flower girl and junior bridesmaid.
‘Days of Our Lives’ Spoilers: Barash Played Stefan DiMera Until October 2024
Amusingly, Barash proposed to Storms with a blue raspberry ring pop at a gas station. Despite their split, Brandon and Kirsten remain friendly co-parents to Harper Rose.
Now, Brandon and Isabella are having another son, which is enormously exciting! Barash played Stefan DiMera on Days of Our Lives from March 2019 to October 2019.
He returned to the soap in April 2020 to play Stefan’s twin, Jake Lambert. Barash returned to DOOL in August 2022 as Stefan DiMera and was let go in October 2024.
The actor moved to Nashville, Tennessee, in 2025. He relocated for his family after Kirsten Storms moved there. Barash was also eager to pursue new opportunities.
There have also been some rumors circulating on social media that the character of Stefan DiMera might resurface in Salem.
In October 2024, Stefan’s villainous mother, Vivian Alamain (Louise Sorel) arranged Stefan’s kidnapping. She also forged Stefan’s signature on his divorce papers.

Vivian also forged a “Dear John” letter to Stefan’s wife, Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez), saying that he was heartbroken and leaving town after Gabi slept with his brother, EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel).
However, the truth was that Stefan was ready to go to Gabi and beg her for another chance. He never wanted to divorce Gabi.
Unfortunately, Gabi believed the lie that Stefan no longer wanted anything to do with her. That is, until it was confirmed by Rafe Herandez (Galen Gering) that Stefan left Salem against his will.
Additionally, Vivian declared that Stefan was dead. Of course, we can’t believe anything Vivian Alamain says, so some fans still hold out hope that one day Stefan will return to his true love, Gabi.
However, Barash was fired by DOOL twice, and it seems unlikely that he’ll come back. The last time Barash was let go from the show, Barash described it as a “gut punch.” That said, fans want “Stabi” to reunite someday.
We wish Brandon Barash, his wife, Isabella, and their son, Joaquin, a warm congratulations on the baby, as this new chapter is filled with love.
